I do have an EMC solar foil front filter and find the contrast lacking due to stray light, that is very evident when some wind hits the foil. The movement of the foil is clearly seen in brightness fluctuation over the whole view. I wonder if a Herschel wedge will provide better contrast 🤓

I also use a solar foil (Baader) and noticed some occasional 'rippling' of brightness when the breeze blew, as well as some stray light artifacts at times. I don't really do solar observing much but I thought maybe for next time I'll invest in a solar wedge of some kind.
