Oh,

, I had a Skylight filter attached to my digital camera when I took this shot. I make it a habit to leave it on nowadays...

Anway, the visual image of the sun as seen through the thread-on solar filter is *white* in colour. Unfortunately, the models listed above are the only ones available in this (thread-on) series at the moment.
