New Image: ULF-9 vs glass

#1

Post by jrkirkham »


While preparing for the eclipse I picked up one of those ULF-90 solar filters for my son's camera. I already had a glass filter for my camera. They both worked fine, which got me thinking. For those who take sunspot images, do you have a preference for which type of filter to use?
