Frequently Asked QuestionsEverything you need to know
Which telescopes are compatible with the Starfield 1.25" Solar Wedge?
The Starfield 1.25" Solar Wedge is designed specifically for refractor telescopes with apertures up to 100mm (4 inches). It is not compatible with Petzval telescope designs, telescopes with plastic components, or reflector/catadioptric systems.
Can I use the Starfield 1.25" Solar Wedge for astrophotography?
Yes, the Starfield 1.25" Solar Wedge features integrated M42 camera threads, allowing astrophotographers to easily attach dedicated astronomy cameras or DSLRs for high-resolution solar imaging.
Where should additional filters be installed when using the Starfield 1.25" Solar Wedge?
Additional filters must always be installed AFTER the light has passed through the prism of the Starfield 1.25" Solar Wedge. Placing filters in front of the wedge will cause extreme heat buildup that can destroy the filter.
