Description

Herschel Antlia Solar Imaging Wedge with CaK Filter 3 nm 1.25"

Herschel Antlia Solar Imaging Wedge with CaK Filter 3 nm 1.25"

The Herschel Antlia Solar Imaging Wedge, paired with a CaK Filter 3 nm 1.25", is a professional-grade tool engineered for capturing stunning high-resolution photographs of the Sun. Designed specifically for use with refractor telescopes, it supports a maximum aperture of 120 mm and an f-ratio of f/5.5.

Product Details

The Antlia CaK 3 nm 1.25" Filter, seamlessly integrated into the 1.25" nosepiece of the wedge, is a specialized bandpass filter. It selectively allows the transmission of radiation emitted by ionized calcium atoms, enabling users to capture detailed images of solar phenomena such as sunspots, surface granulation, and other solar structures.

The filter is crafted with a multilayer coating on a double-polished, high-temperature-resistant optical glass substrate. Its narrow half-width of ±3 nm for the Ca-K line transmission (393 nm) ensures images with remarkable resolution and contrast. The filter offers exceptional optical efficiency in its transmission band while effectively blocking other spectrum components, achieving optical densities of OD3 and OD5.
