So which do you prefer: the more reddy or more orangy?

[Steve Ward]

More black and whitey ....

[Wyldkatt]

Sorry - I put the links the wrong way round.....the orange was the 24th and the red the 25th

[Wyldkatt]

More black and whitey ....

I can do b&w - 'cept the sun looks better with some colour

Orange for me. Personally I don't use filtration just add false colour during processing. Visually I tend to use green filter at the eyepiece.

Green filter (Baader Solar Continuum) for me as well. Orange seems more natural, but maybe that is because I used a Thousand Oaks nickle-plated filter for a long time, which has an orange cast

The red filter seems to give a much sharper image and better defined faculae. However this could also have been seeing variability as they were tested on different days. I am also presuming this is a filter test and not a colour preference test?

Actually this is a colour test.....My solar filter is white light but the camera has some presets for "colourising" the image at the point of capture. I have some custom settings and I reserve No 3 for sun images....

Filters is a whole new ball game. I am not "there" yet.

If that is the case I prefer B&W for WL

Out of the two I like the orange, but it is better to capture in B&W and add false colour later.
