LUNT Solar Systems 1,25" Herschel prism - for safe solar observations with refractors


The Lunt White Light Solar Wedge provides superior White Light views of the Sun.

The Lunt Wedge is designed to replace the standard diagonal at the rear end
of your refracting telescope. Unlike front mounted filters the Wedge
transmits a safe level of full spectrum light providing true white light
views.



The Lunt Wedge contains a fully integrated heat trap. The heat is allowed to
pass thru the prism and is directed to the rear end of the Wedge. At the
rear of the Wedge you will note a red disk. This disk serves to absorb the
heat and prevent internal reflection of the residual light. The fins act to
pull cooler air thru the rear part of the system as the heat sink heat up.
This convection will keep the heat sink from getting too hot.

Includes:

■1.25″ White Light Solar Wedge
■Metal Carrying Case
■Die cut foam with room for accessories

Safety Note:
The Herschel prism alone provides not enough filter effect for safe solar observation. According to the observatin mode (visual / imaging), additional filters are necessary. At least, a ND3 neutral density filter + polarizing filter (or Baader Solar Continuum filter) is recommended for visual observation. These filters are listed in the accessories section.
