Solar Image

Regarding the advice from Merlin66

re: the usage of a UV-IR filter and the a Continuum filter in order for me to, hopefully, see some details on the surface of the Sun.
I sought availability of the Continuum filter, and the staff from both the two stores
were unsure as to what could be seen on the surface of the Sun, besided the sunspots.
using those 2 filters, In particular, why the UV-IR filter?
Just to repeat. I have the latest non-mylar solar filter material from Baader, and a Canon 5D with a HA filter installed, replacing the original filter.
My scope is an 12 inch Newt.
I am looking for some more light (shielded,of course) on this matter.
