Get ready to see sun spots and solar surface granulation like never before! The StarField 2" Herschel Wedge attaches easily to your refractor telescope by simply trading out your regular 2" star diagonal or mirror for the wedge. It is easy to make brightness adjustments without removing your camera or eyepiece, making this Herschel solar wedge perfect for visual use or imaging of the Sun in white light. To adjust brightness, just rotate the 2" eyepiece holder with the included 2" polarizing filter on board. Super easy!
A solar wedge produces a high contrast image of the Sun due to its ability to remove reflections between the filter itself and your refractor telescope's lens. You will find that this design difference allows for more detail when compared to results through a standard front-mount white light solar filter.
