Item No.: 295 65 00 V
Visual Version - with built-in Baader
ND3.0 Grey filter and 2“ Solar Continuum filter
2“ Safety Herschel Wedge with Cool-Ceramic-SolarFinder and 2“ ClickLock-Eyepiece Clamp
There is no better way for uncompromising Solar Observation / Solar Photography in white light
Every Solar Diagonal needs additional neutral density filters since the reflected energy of the first surface prism (4.6%) still is a factor of 1000 too large for the human eye
All Baader Solar Diagonals are delivered with a pre-mounted ND 3.0 Baader precision 2” light reduction filter
The exiting beam in the Baader Safety Herschel Wedge is fed into a heat cage separated from the prism body. Like on a Space Shuttle a ceramic tile forming the
back end of the heat cage absorbs the radiant heat without overheating its surroundings. The
closed prism body offers perfect safety for educational work
Solar Finder: The translucent ceramic tile acts as projection screen for the unfocused
image of the Sun. Aiming the telescope at the Sun becomes very easy
ClickLock 2“ Clamp: Securely clamp any eyepiece with only the push of a lever.
Change eyepieces single handedly – even in winter with heavy gloves
Filter Holder: A 2“/M48 threaded ring couples the 2“ ClickLock-Clamp to the body of
the Safety Herschel Wedge and acts as a filter holder for 2“ filters
Solar Continuum Filter (10nm HBW/540nm CWL): Included as standard filter
