If you can, go out and look at the sun before it sets and the trick-or-treaters arrive. There is a remarkably large sunspot group visible right now, a terrific white-light target with lots of detail. I haven't yet looked in H-a, but the white light view itself is pretty darn good. I'm using an 80x400mm achromat with a 2" Lunt solar wedge, ND3 filter, and 2" variable polarizing filter along with various eyepieces.
