Has anybody tried viewing/shooting through the Baader solar continuum (540nm) filter in addition to the solar film? It is supposed to enhance contrast and reduce atmospherics (which I can believe), but how much light does it steal?

Thanks Steffen,
Yes I had little time on the day to retry after the initial test shots due to cloud so hope to get some more practice in before the day.

Thanks Matt,
I really looking forward to doing the Venus transit and I think I've got the gear setup as best I can so a little fine tuning of technique needed and hope for some clear skys.
