Quite a collection.
I just have the old Baader Herschel before and after the heat dissipator, 2 Lunt Herschel`s, one Unitron and one Edmunds and I don`t remember the make of the other one.

Hello Pedro,
I like the Clavé and the Unitron ones. I should have bought them long a go.

Re: Solar Wedges (old & new)
Did anyone make a .0965 Herschel wedge? I have a 40 year old refractor that has that size focuser. Finding decent accessories to fit that size is difficult these days.
Ah, the Perl Royal IS a .0965 wedge!

Re: Solar Wedges (old & new)
I have looked online for .0965 wedges before and the prices are often not bad but most lack the ND3 and polarizing filters that are located behind the wedge.
