Solar Prism with Polarizing and Narrowband Filter 1,25"

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!!!
