Product information "LUNT LS1.25HW 31.7mm (1.25'') Herschel Wedge"
This Herschel wedge is designed for superior White-Light solar observing and imaging. It can be used with refracting telescopes up to 102mm aperture, with 1.25'' focuser. This complete system comes with installed ND3.0 filter.
Herschel Wedges are used to observe the sun in White Light. Around 95% of the Sun's light is suppressed by the wedge's ceramic prism. The remaining sun light is dimmed further by a factory-installed ND3.0 grey filter. Lunt Solar Systems Herschel wedges are installed in a fully closed housing with integrated heat trap. No stray light can escape from this, therefore it is very safe method of observing our nearest star.
The difference between Herschel-wedges and normal front mounted filters is that the filtering takes place just before the eyepiece or camera. This provides better contrast and sharpness of the solar image - with more surface detail visible as a result. Furthermore, a Herschel wedge is inherently safer than at a front mounted filter. A Herschel wedge can not rip or become punctured like a foil filter can be and it cannot become detached from the telescope objective accidentally.
Only for use with refractor telescopes up to 102mm aperture:
Because the full energy and heat of the sun inside the telescope, we advise solely using refractors for Herschel-wedge use. The refractor must not have corrector lenses at the back. Optical elements like corrector lenses, or secondary mirrors of reflecting telescopes, could suffer from thermal build-up by concentrated solar energy and could be permanently damaged.
Tuning the brightness:
Because the Herschel-wedge produces polarised light, you can use a normal polarising filter at the eyepiece, or camera-adapter. By turning the polarising filter the image brightness can be varied to the user's liking.
This additional Polarising filter is not included. We recommend the BRESSER 1.25'' polarising filter, no: 4946464.

£598.00*
Herschel-wedge / Solar-wedge for superior White-Light solar observing and imaging. For refractor-telescopes up to 150mm aperture, and with 2'' focuser. Complete system with installed ND3.0 filter.Herschel-Wedges will be used to observe the sun in White-Light. Around 95 % of the sun light will be suppressed by the Herschel Wedge. The remaining sun light will be dimmed by a fix installed ND3.0 grey filter. Lunt Solar Systems Herschel-wedges are installed in a fully closed housing with integrated heat trap. There is no stray light escaping, therefore it is very safe.The difference between Herschel-wedges and normal front mounted filters is, that the filtering takes place just before the eyepiece or camera. This will provide a better contrast and sharpness of the solar image.Furthermore, there is more safety at a Herschel-wedge than at a front mounted filter. A Herschel-wedge can not rip or become holes like a foil. And also it can not drop down from the telescope objective accidentally.Only for use with refractor telescopes up to 150mm aperture:Because the full energy and heat of the sun will be inside the telescope, we advise to use only refractors with a Herschel-wedge. The refractor must not have corrector lenses at the back. Optical elements like corrector lenses, or secondary mirrors of reflector telescopes, become very hot by the concentrated solar energy and could be damaged.Tuning the brightness:Because the Herschel-wedge produce polarized light, you can use a normal polarizing filter at the eyepiece or camera-adapter. By turning the polarizing filter the brightness will be reduced.Polarizing filter not included.

ISA Space Exploration NASA-themed AstroPlanetarium
£77.99*
Scientists at famous space agency NASA are always reaching for the stars with their missions and celestial observations. With the ISA Space Exploration NASA-themed AstroPlanetarium, you can bring a piece of this exciting world of research into your own home. But, before you get started, you should take the stickers and customise your astro projector in style with great NASA motifs. Then you can embark on your very own journey of discovery into the night sky – the 2 projection discs will bring you 8,000 stars or 61 constellations, all with names, through bright LEDs. At the optimal distance of 2 m, you can admire the image on a large total area of approx. 1.6 x 2.1 m.
Flexible astro fun with the home planetarium
Weather, location, time of year – all astronomers know that what you see in the night sky depends on a number of different factors. But with the AstroPlanetarium, you can devote time to your hobby whenever it suits you. Simply select the starry sky that you want to observe by setting the date and the time from 8 pm to 2 am. You’ll then see all the starry magnificence that you’d expect to see outside at that time. Gradually, you can explore every night of the year.
Great additional functions for stargazers
Always on the move, if you want it – with the integrated motor, you can make the image rotate at the touch of a button. Unlike the rotation of the earth, you can choose the direction of rotation and one of the 6 speed levels to suit your wishes. With shooting star mode, you can also set comet trains to pass over the night sky – who knows, maybe they’ll bring luck with them? And when it’s time to head off to the land of dreams, you can fall asleep under the stars with sleep mode, which will shut your planetarium off after 30, 60 or 120 minutes (depending on setting).
Follow in the footsteps of your NASA role models and embark on your very own astro discoveries when it suits you with the ISA Space Exploration NASA-themed AstroPlanetarium. FEATURESHome planetarium for children from 14 years of age
