Description

For this shot I experimented with using a Baader Solar Continuum filter (540nm / 10nm CWL).

Comparing it to a shot of Copernicus I captured using a regular G filter I don't really see any benefit over that, however the moon was high (60 degrees).

I think the Continuum might be more useful when seeing is good but the moon is lower and dispersion may be more of a factor (the narrow bandpass of the filter limiting dispersion effects).
