Great eyepiece for PST

How much does draping a black cloth over you help with the image
through the PST (or any H-alpha filter)? Do the longer eye relief
oculars perform less well because of the loss of contrast in daylight?

I think that draping a cloth helps a lot. Also close it up around you
so you do not get any light coming in from the bottom. It allows you
to relax and you can keep both eyes open to ease eyestrain. I use one
of those Focus Cloths used for view cameras. Any dark cloth would work
though.

My favorite eyepiece is the 12mm Cemax for both the PST and for the
40mm SolarMax mounted on a ST-80.
