I remember taking video of that event. I have a 14 1/2 inch F 5.5 Newtonian though for that video I was only using the telescope as a drive. I used the finder scope as a projector into large cardboard box that I mounted on the telescope tube and projected an image inside. I placed a video camera inside the box to record the projection.

Clever. Btw, why did you not use the Newtonian for the video? Was it lack of a solar filter?
