We just had very good success looking at the eclipse using the sextant and also allowing the unfiltered sun light to be projected through the telescope on to a piece of white paper. Focus the sun's image on the paper and you'll get a good sharp image. The greater the distance between the telescope and the paper target- the larger the image. That is the best method so far.
