Embark on a captivating solar observing journey with the Starfield 1.25" Solar Wedge, engineered specifically for refractor telescopes up to 100mm in aperture. This premium solar wedge offers amateur astronomers and astrophotography enthusiasts an unmatched window into the dynamic surface of the Sun.
The Starfield 1.25" Solar Wedge replaces standard telescope diagonals to deliver incredible high-contrast visual observations and white-light solar astrophotography. Featuring an anti-reflection coated prism with a generous 26.5mm clear aperture, it safely channels excess energy while capturing minute surface details like sunspots, granulation, and faculae. Equipped with an integrated adjustable CPL filter and built-in M42 camera threads, this high-performance astronomical accessory allows observers to seamlessly connect imaging gear for incredible direct solar captures.
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.
