+DaveJW Posted May 10, 2012 Share Posted May 10, 2012 I'm in the process of sorting myself out with some Baader solar film (we had flocking season, now it's solar film season!), but don't know whether to invest in this filter too? They are a bit pricey! Does anyone here have one & if so what does it do for your (visual) image? Thanks. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rusty Strings Posted May 11, 2012 Share Posted May 11, 2012 It is a bit pricey but if you want observe the sun without paying for a solar scope then it is the only safe way to go whether it's for imaging or visual. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest Kheldar Posted May 11, 2012 Share Posted May 11, 2012 The Continuum filter is great for increasing contrast over just the filter sheet alone. However a similar effect can be had with a Wratten green 58A filter (cheap!) Personally, I would not of been without my Continuum filter, but as with EPs : it's a personal thing. Best bet would be to try one out first Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
