The eyepiece filters also have a bandwidth of 15-30 times that of a good solar filter. As such, they let too much other light through and wouldn't be capable of showing any contrast. It would be like trying to use your laptop while 15 spot lights were pointed at the screen.

You can get filters that do what you describe, but they aren't cheap.
