I can add my testimony to Merlin66's comments, having tried it a year or two back. It doesn't work - you get nothing but an orange-coloured Sun, and dim at that. No loss, at least I've got an Ha filter that could be useful for other things. Just can't quite think of what at the minute!

I tried all sorts of things including 'supercharging' it with more sunlight, but all to no avail. Oh, except the Sun was a much brighter orange!
