Solar observing makes you hot!

Description

I made a solar shield from a £5 brolly 
I was getting baking hot and drops of sweat dripping onto my eyepiece.
It was an idea in jest but it actually worked!
But when a breeze comes by it can cause some wobbles.
Scope is my old Skywatcher 150 f/8.

A smaller panel with less surface area would be better, but they don't cost £5.
