Huh? There is nothing better in my opinion. Really. The Baader Herschel Wedge is THE solar accessory for white light and Ca imaging.

The solar load on a quality refractor is no problem so long as the scope has front lens elements only. You'll get unbelievable views with your 160 and a wedge. Make sure to get a 2" model and to use additional ND filters for visual. The Baader comes as a kit with everything you need. Of course you can only use a wedge with a refractor! -Craig On Apr 5, 2016, at 11:41 PM, 'Mike Shade' mshade@... [ap-gto] <ap-gto@...> wrote:
