This prism is more than just a tool; it's your gateway to experiencing the sun's brilliance in complete safety and with exceptional clarity.

At its core, this prism boasts an innovative integrated rotation mechanism designed for polarizing filters. This feature is crucial for fine-tuning brightness, making it ideal for both visual observation and white light solar photography. The ability to adjust filter positioning seamlessly within the optical path allows for precise control over the light entering your eye or camera, especially when used in tandem with the optional Baader Single Polarizing Filter 2" and the included Neutral Density Filter. This thoughtful design ensures that all necessary filters remain in place, even as you switch between eyepieces, offering an uninterrupted and exquisite solar viewing experience.

Each Herschel wedge, including ours, is equipped with additional neutral density filters to manage the intense reflected energy from the sun—ensuring your safety and comfort during observation. Furthermore, our prism comes with the Baader 7.5nm Solar Continuum Filter 2", enhancing solar image sharpness significantly.
