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.
