Solar Viewing & Imaging Equipment


Recommended Posts

I have played around using Baader Solar Film before to observe and image the sun but having recently purchased a Starfield 102ED f7 refractor,  I would now like to step up another level - what equipment would you recommend?

I'm thinking a Herschel Wedge is the way to go, perhaps this one:  https://www.firstlightoptics.com/solar-filters/starfield-2-herschel-solar-wedge-v2.html  + is this OK with my current 1.25" eyepieces, which I also intend to ungrade later - see signature below for details

What do you get to see using a Herschel Wedge i.e. how much better than solar film is it and in which way + what additonal filters would help.

For the moment I'm just thinking of observing but as my main interest is imaging, I will inevitably want to do this too - any thoughts on cameras that would work well with this scope etc?
