Unlock the Power of Solar Imaging with the Antlia Solar Herschel Wedge- 1.25"
The Antlia Solar Wedge, designed with the Herschel Wedge technology, is your gateway to capturing stunning solar granulation and sunspots with unrivaled sharpness and contrast. Replace your standard prism diagonal at the rear of refractor telescopes with our Solar Wedge and experience a whole new level of solar observation.
Our Herschel Wedge design is renowned for delivering sharper, higher-contrast solar images. It ensures the safe transmission of a reduced amount of sunlight to your imaging camera, allowing you to control image brightness effortlessly using a control ring equipped with aperture blades, similar to those found in camera lenses.
Crafted with precision CNC machining, the Antlia Solar Wedge boasts optical components that are multi-coated with anti-reflection coatings. This not only minimizes internal reflections but also reduces contrast-reducing stray light, resulting in exceptional image quality.
The Solar Wedge incorporates an Antlia 3nm narrow bandpass filter at the Calcium II K-Line centered on 393.3nm, securely mounted in a standard 1.25'' holder. Unlike some other solar wedge designs that may become too hot during use, our Imaging Solar Wedge efficiently directs energy into an extra-thick Polycrystalline Ceramic diffuser plate at the rear of the Wedge. Cooling vents above the ceramic plate further enhance the cooling process.
