Orion Solar filter

[Astroman (Andrew Wall)]

Hi all,

Does anyone have any solar images taken with the Orion Solar Filter - ED80mm & 100mm Refractor from Bintel?

If so are these ideal for photography as well as Visual?

Looks like a pretty standard glass solar filter.
Should be OK for visual and imaging...
(I have the JMB type, very similar and that works well)

Thanks. Whats the colour of the sun like with the filter?

I haven't used it for a while ( I changed over to the Baader Solar Film and Herschel wedges) but from memory the image was a pale salmon pink.....

I have one, it's an yellow touch orange if that makes any sense, I also own another older one from Astro Optical branded Identi View, paler in colour more white with a tinge of yellow..

I found as far as white light viewing of the Sun is concerned, the only way to go is with a Herschel Wedge filter, Lunt have a beauty, the detail with them is amazing compared to the others.

Cheers
