Hi Joe,
There are a few beginner websites -

http://astronomyonline.org/SolarSystem/SolarSafety.asp

http://spaceweather.com/sunspots/doityourself.html

You could use your 10" dob using solar projection - projecting the image of the sun on a piece of cardboard. With the solar cycle picking up you can enjoy watching sunspots.

Thanks,
Bill

Very nice Ivan. I hope someone comes up with an app for exposure control.
