About Baader Planetarium FPOL-1

After investing in the 1.25" Polarization Filter for Herschel Wedge, astrophotographers and nature enthusiasts alike will appreciate its high-quality, durable construction and effective performance. Crafted by the reputable Baader Planetarium, this innovative filter is designed to enhance your visual experience by variably adjusting the image brightness.

The Herschel Wedge's unique attribute is its partial polarizing effect on solar images. This feature allows for a convenient adjustment of image brightness, achieved by simply placing a single polarizing filter between the Herschel and the eyepiece. By rotating the filter/eyepiece combo, the image can be variably dimmed, providing an optimal brightness for maximum visual contrast at any magnification.

This versatile filter is designed to thread directly onto a 1.25" eyepiece, facilitating a seamless switch between eyepieces without the need to remove the filter. This ensures a close position between the eyepiece and filter, enhancing image quality and reducing glare.

Additionally, the large filter size of 31.75mm allows for more light to pass through, making it ideal for astrophotography and other applications requiring a high level of light. The use of a T2-15 further enhances convenience by providing an easy means of attaching and removing the Solar Continuum filter.

Whether you're capturing breathtaking landscapes or engaging in portrait photography, the 1.25" Polarization Filter for Herschel Wedge is an essential tool for reducing glare and reflections from non-metallic surfaces, and for increasing contrast and saturation in your images.

Baader Planetarium FPOL-1 Features

  • Put the Baader Solar Polarization Filter between the Baader Herschel Wedge and the eyepiece and easily adjust the brightness of the solar image
  • The 1.25" model can attach directly to 1.25" eyepiece so that you can conveniently switch eyepieces regardless of their barrel size
