Baader Herschel wedge for £288 ?

[JED-E3]

Amazon are selling the photographic version* of the Baader Herschel wedge for £288 at the moment, I believe it has a reputation for being the best herschel wedge, provided your refractor has enough inward travel.

I think the price is quite good when you consider that a 2" solar continuum filter on it's own is around £100.

*Note that the item description is for the visual version, however the stated serial number of 2956500P is for the photographic version, which is what you'll receive (and if they do send the wrong item Amazon have a great returns policy!).

If it has the fixed filter then it might hinder you doing high res imaging, otherwise it gives you peace of mind.... No risk of accidental blinding!

That was quite a price hike overnight!

There have been quite a few low priced Baader Planetarium items on Amazon uk recently.
