Bob, I did some searching on the 'net (acutally for another device .. which
I did not find) and came across this...

It looks just to be about perfect for your suggested experiment, but I did
not see any price or anything else about the unit.

Realize that without (GOOD) filters, a lot of inexpensive telescopes
will see damaged lenses. And decent telescopes will overheat.
Solar imaging is the source of a whole cottage industry in filter design.
Also: Warning, Warning Will Robinson: Don't think you can use x-ray
film to adequately shield your eyes. It's not sufficient to prevent
damage to the lense and cornea.

Somewhere through the links that Bob gave I found the web site for this
http://www.solarscope.org/
It is $70USD. Pricey for a piece of cardboard. Looks like it is
basically a pinhole and a mirror.
