I have also bought your AstroSolar Safety Film and will use it in front of the C8".
Is this enough for imaging of the sun or will it be too warm and harm my equipment?
Friends of mine have said that it is also needed to add an extra IR filter to reduce the heat, but this is something I haven't read from you in Baader. Maybe it's some amateur's ideas without the correct knowledge.
I have bought many things from you and think you are one of the best optic manufacturers in the world. I really trust your skills and your products.
So before I start imaging the sun, it's better to ask you for good advice instead of destroying my equipment. :-)

Details
Baader Narrowband Filers in sizes 1¼", 2", 50.4mm and 50x50mmDouble Stacked Solar Continuum Filter - For Visual and Photographic Observations of the Sun
Ensures highest contrast in the photosphere of the sun. The filter works as a monochrometer - suppressing the effects of the atmospheric turbulence and results in images that are significantly sharper. Owners of SCTs and refractors will benefit as red and blue wavelengths are completely excluded, with the transmission area peaking at 535nm where telescope optics are sharpest and free from chromatic aberrations.
Important Information for Solar Observing
The Solar Continuum Filter may be used for purely VISUAL observation ONLY in conjunction with the Baader Herschel Prism or with the Baader AstroSolar Safety Film (ND 5.0).
The combination of AstroSolar Photo Film (ND 3.8) and Solar Continuum filter is used exclusively for photography of the sun at high magnifications. This combination is highly apt to capture the finest solar surface detail and granulation at extremely high magnification while enabling ultra-short exposure (measured in milliseconds) in order to freeze atmospheric turbulence.
