I am embarrassed to be so ignorant. Am I correct in assuming the Lunt
Wedge or the Thousand Oaks solar filter on a 5" refractor will work
"good" at maximum eclipse, where 85% of the sun light will be covered by
the moon? It seems these filters should work because we are observing
intensity, not flux, but I wonder how well they will work to see Baily
(misspelled?) beads and in general just the sliver of sunlight clearing
the moon's disk.
