White light solar

The combination of a Baader Solar filter up front and a green or continuum filter at the eyepiece, I found was one of the BEST combinations for visual observing.
I tried various coloured filters, LPI and red Ha ( for deep sky objects) at the eyepiece and found that the green was far ahead in giving better contrast and allowing observation of the granulated surface.
Sure, it's not a Ha type solution but very worth while for sunspots, AR's and other phenonoma.
