thanks guys - i lashed out and got the photo version of the Baader - comes wit han inbuild finder
In addition to the finder, the Badder photo version also comes with a selection of removable ND filters so that you can mix and match. Too bad it costs so much.

Note that when using the solar continuum filter for photography, for best results also add a UV/IR blocking filter.

I have noticed when using the continuum filter during solar outreach that many people ask why the sun appears green in the white light telescope. I tell them the sun is made of green cheese (just kidding). The same people ask why the sun appears red in the Ha telescope. After my first solar outreach I changed over to doing all further solar outreach using the polarizing filter instead. That meets more people's expectations. Some people expect the sun to appear yellow so I still have to explain to them why it's white rather than yellow.
