[QUOTE="Dawg Pics, post: 635447, member: 26505"] This is what I gathered. White light filters vs colored filters. The filter I used tints the sun orange, but white light is closer to the natural sun (as we see it) when it is high in the sky. Baader film and glass filters are white light filters. I don't know what wavelengths the ND filters transmit, but they aren't designed to add orange tint to bright, barely colored sunlight. Disclaimer:I am not an astronomer, nor do I play one on tv. This is just my understanding based on the research I did when looking at filters and such. (And from what I barely remember when backyard astronomy was my hobby.) Oh, then there is Photoshop (or white balance as [USER=4923]@nickt[/USER] did to his images) ;) [/QUOTE]
