Lunt LS1.25HW 31.7mm (1.25") Solar-wedge

1. Enhanced Solar Safety: Unlike front-mounted solar filters that absorb heat at the telescope's objective, the Lunt LS1.25HW operates by filtering and dispersing heat after the light has passed through the telescope. Its fully closed housing and integrated ND3.0 filter ensure that heat and stray light are safely managed, offering a secure observing experience. Always use original accessories and spare parts to prolong product lifespan and ensure safety.

2. Superior Contrast: The Herschel-wedge design, coupled with high-quality optical surfaces, provides significantly higher contrast during solar observation compared to standard objective filters. This allows for clearer views of solar granulation, sunspots, and faculae by reducing atmospheric scintillation.

3. Dedicated Refractor Use: Specifically engineered for refractor telescopes up to 150mm aperture, the LS1.25HW optimizes light path management for these optical systems. It offers a 90° viewing angle for ergonomic use, making long observing sessions comfortable.

4. Robust and Reliable: Constructed with mechanical precision, this solar wedge is designed for durability and consistent performance. The pre-installed ND3.0 filter eliminates the need for separate filter attachment, streamlining setup and ensuring proper filtration for safe viewing of the sun's photosphere.

ABOUT THE LUNT LS1.25HW 31.7mm (1.25") SOLAR-WEDGE

The Lunt LS1.25HW 31.7mm (1.25") Solar-wedge stands out as a dedicated accessory for safe and high-resolution solar viewing with refractor telescopes. Unlike traditional objective filters, which are placed at the front of the telescope, this Herschel-wedge works by passing the vast majority of the sun's energy through the telescope, reflecting only a small percentage of the light to the eyepiece. The LS1.25HW features a permanently integrated ND3.0 filter and a sophisticated heat trap within its fully closed 90° housing, eliminating any risk of stray light leakage and ensuring observer safety. Its design significantly improves contrast and image clarity for white light solar observation, making details like sunspots and granulation more prominent. Intended for amateur astronomers and enthusiasts, this model provides pristine views of the sun's photosphere. The mechanical precision and quality of optics ensure consistent performance. Using original accessories and spare parts is crucial for prolonged product lifetime and maintaining optimal performance.
