Hi.Yes I use the continuum filter. I use it with a 120mmm achromatic refractor and a herschel wedge. The filter will impart a green colour to the sun’s disk. I find the views are improved with the filter in two ways. 1: Sharper. I believe the green filter reduces chromatic abberation on the achromat. 2: Granulation and faculae are much more visible. I hope this is helpful.Regards.Tom Moran
