Old school solar observation
Old school solar observation
Check out two extremely rare pieces of equipment for observing the Sun:
1- Clave' Helioscope (triple-prism erector)
2- Clave' Pentaprism (90º Helisoscopic pentaprism )
Available from Clave' (Paris) in the seventies (images from my private collection).

Thanks guys
I tried to use the Helioscope but I need more back focus and a special adapter.

Re: Old school sun observation
Thanks Alexandra
These two Clave' acc are similar to Herschel Wedges.
The Pentaprism has a fitted X2 barlow and a neutral density filter and the Heliscope has 3 prisms in-line producing 5 reflexions

Re: Old school sun observation
Nice equipment!
Many many years ago I have used Zeiss pentaprism with 6" Zeiss apochromat in the local public observatory.

Re: Old school solar observation
Check out two old scopes for solar observation
Secretan 56mm F/12 School refractor (Lunette Pedagogique) and a very rare Takahashi TS-50 F/14 achromatic refractor
The Secretan was used with a Secretan solar wedge and a Sun Filter (20mm Secretan eyepiece)
The Taka TS-50 was fitted with a Pre-Meade SM40 and a BF15 (Baader Zoom eyepiece)

Oh My Pedro, good to see your museum items are getting Sun-tanned today - as they should be on occasions.
Memories are made of these.
Thanks for sharing
