I also use the Lunt Herschel wedge. The Baader is fine though!Lady Fraktor wrote: ↑Fri Apr 03, 2020 2:57 am It makes no difference, I mainly use my Herschel wedge which is a prism but use a regular mirror when using film filters.
I'm sure its better but also pricier than the Lunt. I used to use if not own one back in VA. I admit I cheaped out when getting the Lunt. It's fine for my uses but the Baader is better.Lady Fraktor wrote: ↑Fri Apr 03, 2020 4:06 am I love my Baader wedge, I would have to say possibly my favorite telescope accessory.
Have looked through the Baader and the Lunt on the same day, contrast is a noticeable little bit better on the Baader FWIW. When I got the Lunt the rationale was I was less interested in white light viewing and preferred the idea of Halpha as a place to invest.Lady Fraktor wrote: ↑Fri Apr 03, 2020 4:27 am A few years ago (when sunspots still existed) some friends and I did a comparison of Orion glass filter, Thousand Oaks glass and Mylar filters, Baader solar film and the Baader Herschel, unfortunate that nobody had a Lunt Herschel.
Needless to say the Baader both outdid the competition for resolution.
