TS Optics Solar Prism with Polarizing and Narrowband Filter 1,25" (53753)
The TS Optics Solar Prism with Polarizing and Narrowband Filter 1.25" is a complete solar observation accessory designed for use with refractor telescopes. Also known as a Herschel wedge or Herschel prism, this device safely removes about 95% of sunlight, delivering only a small, safe fraction to the observer or camera. The result is significantly higher contrast and detail than traditional lens filters, making it ideal for both visual observation and solar photography.

Key Features
-
High-quality optical surfaces provide excellent contrast for observing solar details.
-
Enclosed housing with integrated light trap prevents stray light from escaping.
-
Cooling fins help dissipate heat quickly during use.
-
Includes a 1.25" polarizing filter for continuous brightness adjustment without adding color, which can be attached to either the eyepiece or the filter itself.
-
Comes with a 1.25" narrowband interference filter (40 nm bandwidth, centered at 540 nm) that enhances surface contrast and reveals faculae regions. This filter also helps eliminate chromatic aberration, making it suitable for fast Fraunhofer refractors.
-
The eyepiece side is compatible with both 1.25" and T2 accessories.
Safety Warning
Never use the solar wedge without the included narrowband and polarizing filters, as this can cause irreversible eye damage.
