Baader Safety CoolCeramic Herschel Prism 2" Photographic

Baader Safety CoolCeramic Herschel Prism 2" Photographic

DESCRIPTION

The Baader Safety CoolCeramic Herschel Prism 2" Photographic enables secure and highly detailed white-light solar observation and photography with refractors. Its advanced ceramic-based light trap safely dissipates residual solar energy, ensuring thermal stability during prolonged use.

It features an integrated polarising filter rotation system for stepless brightness control, allowing quick adjustment without removing filters—even when switching eyepieces. All essential filters are housed internally to prevent handling risks.

This photographic version includes the Baader Solar Continuum filter 2" (540 nm, 7.5 nm bandwidth) for crisp solar detail, along with four 2" Neutral Density filters: ND 3.0 (0.1%), ND 1.8 (1.5%), ND 0.9 (12.5%), ND 0.6 (25%), ensuring perfect exposure control for high-magnification imaging.

The precision-machined housing features a matte anodised finish and an S58 dovetail system for adapting to M48, T-2, M55 or M68 standards. The 2" ClickLock eyepiece clamp offers secure locking with a simple 15° twist, even with gloves.

The optical path length is 115 mm (or 112.4 mm with two 2 mm-thick filters), and can be shortened by 30 mm for DSLR or binoviewer use via optional T-2 or M48 adapters.

Delivered in a rugged IP67-certified ABS case, this Herschel wedge is ideal for advanced solar astrophotography. Not suitable for Petzval or other telescopes with glass near the focal plane. Compatible with all Baader-distributed refractors, including oil-spaced designs.
