In my experience, yes they are a step up from solar film. There is more detail visible and generally you can use higher magnification, and see features like faculae and granulation more clearly providing the seeing can take it of course. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Piero Posted April 5, 2016 Share Posted April 5, 2016 The only solar film I observed through was with a C8 during the solar eclipse on 11 Aug '99. Very nice view from Austria, but I don't remember that time I had similar views to what I now get with my 60mm plus Lunt plus a simple green filter... I love my Lunt solar wedge! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
