Product description

Solar prisms, often called Herschel wedge or Herschel prism, are intended for observing the sun with refractor telescopes. Approximately 95% of the sunnlight are removed. The rest is available to the observer or photographer. The contrast is usually significantly better than with a lens filter.

This Solar prism from TS-Optics already comes completely equipped with extensive accessories. You don´t need additional filters or adapters for observing or photography

The advantages of the TS-Optics 1.25" Solar wedge:

  • Particularly high-quality surfaces for very high contrast
  • Enclosed housing with integrated light trap - no escaping stray light
  • Cooling fins for quick removal of the heat
  • 1.25" polarising dilter for screwing into the eyepiece or into the filter for continous adjustment of the brightness without without additional colouring.
  • 1.25" narrow band interference filter dor significantly enhancing the contrast of the solar surface. Especially faculae regions are shown better. The filter has a bandwidth of approximately 40 nm and a peak at 540 nm. Now sun observation is possible with fast Fraunhofer refractors, as the chromatic aberration is removed.
  • At the eyepiece side, 1.25" and T2 accessories can be attached.

Warning: Never use the Solar wedge without the supplied narrowband filter and the polarizing filter. Otherwise irreparable eye damage can result!!!

TS Optics is a brand of Teleskop-Service.

Easier to use film filter

Review by L. T. on 08.07.2023 13:20:06

To get a pic with the wedge camera must be set with high ISO around 800 I used a nikkon d3200. With the film you set it at 100. Film $30 wedge $145. Little difference in pic quality. All depends on focus use of a barlow and of course polarizing filter and perhaps an h alpha filter which i did not use

No you cant just attach a camera shoot stuninng pics

These prisms are for viewing not so much for imaging. If you are new to star gazing dont get hooked buying new gadgets. Be realist a 70mm telescope wont under any circumstamce give amazing pics no matter what you attach to it. Expect to spend at least $5k for anything impressive otherwise all ypu see in night sky is white dots
