Eyepiece filters for solar viewing with Baader Film
I've just spent a very enjoyable day in the backyard observing old Sol through the 60mil with a baader filter at the front end. It took me a while to pick up the two small spots on the disk but once I found them I tried various eyepiece filters to enhance the contrast. The best one turned out to be a 30% Moon filter. A look around the limb in the hopes of seeing a prominence proved fruitless. Is there a filter which will help bring out the details a bit better ?
