Description

Baader 2" Cool-Ceramic Safety Herschel Prism Mark II (Visual / Photographic)

  • 2" wedge prism according to Herschel - one-sided Phantom Group® anti-reflective coating, with ceramic solar finder and 2" ClickLock® eyepiece holder
  • Integrated rotation mechanism for polarising filters – the best method for brightness adjustment in visual solar observation and solar photography in white light
  • Stepless brightness adjustment is made possible in combination with the optional Baader Single Polarizing Filter 2"  and the included Neutral Density Filter. The polarizing filters are not included in the scope of delivery
  • Including our Baader 7.5 nm Solar Continuum Filter 2" (540nm) for an uncompromisingly sharp solar image
  • S58 dovetail and Safety Kerfs on the 2" nose-piece, New 3-point adjustment system preset in the factory.

There is no better way for uncompromising Solar Observation / Solar Photography in white light

A Herschel wedge allows the use of highest magnifications on the refractor without loss of quality.

The Baader 2" Cool-Ceramic Saftey Herschel prism features:

  • an integrated rotation mechanism for polarising filters – the best method for brightness adjustment in visual solar observation and solar photography in white light. This filter rotation mechanism allows filters to be rotated steplessly in the optical path. Since the Herschel prism emits single polarised light, a stepless brightness adjustment is made possible in combination with the optional Baader Single Polarizing Filter 2" and the included Neutral Density Filter. All necessary filters always remain in the Herschel prism, even when changing eyepieces!

  • includes the Baader 7.5 nm Solar Continuum Filter 2" (540nm) with 7.5 nm half-band-width for an uncompromisingly sharp solar image.

    Herschel prisms must always be operated with additional light attenuation filters. Every Herschel wedge needs additional neutral density filters since the reflected energy of the first surface prism (4.6%) still is a factor of 1000 too large for the human eye. All Baader Solar Diagonals are delivered with a pre-mounted ND 3.0 Baader precision 2”" light reduction filter and Solar Continuum Filter. The photographic version includes even more ND filters for selective light attenuation when using cameras and high magnifications.

  • S58 dovetail – as on the Steeltrack focuser – for the use of the following three adapters
    • BDS 2" Diamond Steeltrack® S58 to M48 BDS-Adapter
    • BDS 2" Diamond Steeltrack® S58 to M68i BDS-Adapter 
    • BDS 2" Diamond Steeltrack® S58 to T-2 BDS-Adapter 
      e.g. for short adaptation of cameras
  • the new 3-point adjustment system of the wedge, preset in the factory
  • Safety Kerfs on the 2" nose-piece
  • Sturdy transport case made of ABS plastic, air sealed IP67
  • Available in two versions:
    • Baader Safety CoolCeramic Herschel Prism 2" Visual with Baader Neutral Density Filter 2" (ND 3.0, T=0.1%) 
    • Baader Safety CoolCeramic Herschel Prism 2" Photographic  with Baader Neutral Density Filter, ND 3.0/1.8/0.9/0.6.
