Description

1.25" Solar Continuum Filter - contrasty observation and photography of the sun
# 2458390

The Baader Solar Continuum Filter lets pass a small part of the solar spectrom around 540nm. In this wavelength, the flares, granules and other structures have the highest contrast.

Die image of the sun appears in deep green - with extreme contrast.

The effect of the Baader Solar Continuum Filter:

- The contrast of the solar surface is highly increased. Especially structures like flares on the solar limb, granulation and fine structures at the rim of sun spots become more clearly visible.

- The chromatic abberation of achromatic and ED objectives is completely blinded out. The image becomes sharp and clear as known from an apochromatic objective.

- The Baader Solar Continuum is not a simple green filter, it is a specialist for the sun. It has its maximum transmission exactly there where the solar structures offer their maximum contrast.

- The narrow band filter reduces the seeing's influence on the image quality. Fine details become more steady.

With the narrow-band transmission curve, even fast Fraunhofer systems (e.g. f/5) can be used with success for the solar observation!

A photographic result with the Solar Continuum:

Sun photo with Baader Solar Continuum filter

This picture has been made at 5400mm focal length, with relatively bad seeing conditions. The small transmission curve of the Solar Continuum filter reduces the seeing's influence and increases contrast. Instruments: TS 127/1200mm achromatic refractor / Baader photographic filter foil / Solar Continuum filter.

Practical tip by Teleskop-Service:

With 150mm apterture and bigger, the Solar Continuum can be combined with the visual filter foil for visual purposes. With smaller apertures, the image becomes too dark. Here, we recommend the combination with the photographic filter foil and a moderate neutral density filter with 12.5% transmission.
