Has anyone used or tested this wedge? At 119 US dollars it is by far the least expensive wedge I have seen.

Re: Hercules Solar Wedge
Not heard of them, the wedge is cheap, but is a 1.25" I suppose. They've got some cool things on there, I like the cradle for 4 scopes, you could have a different Quark in each scope

Re: Hercules Solar Wedge
Mark,
I do think this is a 1.25" model. That cradle would hold an Ha, WL and CaK scope. Now what would the 4th one be? CaH??
