For changing filters unthread the 2" Click Lock
®
clamp
from the prism body. Now seperate the connecting
threaded ring 2"/M48. This ring serves as connecting
element to attach the 2" Click Lock
®
clamp onto the
prism body and additionally as filter holder up to three
standard 2" filters.
The 2" Solar Continuum filter may be removed and ex-
changed against another neutral density filter. As de-
tailed earlier (page 3), the OD 3.0 filter #2458332 must
only be removed during photographic observation and
exchanged against one of the other neutral density fil-
ters supplied with the photographic version of the
Baader Safety Herschel-Prism to achieve shortest pos-
sible exposure times.

Threaded Ring
(included in delivery)
The 2" threaded ring has got a continous external thread without a stop
collar. This also assures that the ring becomes loose as soon as the 2"-
SC-Clicklock is removed. If there was a mechanical stop in the external
thread, it could get jammed with one of the parts and make changing fil-
ters harder. With this loose construction you can even use up to three
Baader low-profile-filters (LPFC) directly above the prism.
Two LPFC-filters are pre-mounted when the prism is shipped, and the ring
is ca. 5mm above the housing. This way you can use e.g. an optional 2"-
LPFC-Polarizing-filter (page 9) with a 2"-eyepiece: The eyepiece will fit completely into the Clicklock without touch-
ing the thread inverter.
If you mount three filters at the thread inverter, its upper end has to be ca. 11mm above the housing. This means of
course that eyepieces can't be inserted as deep into the Clicklock as before, and an eyepiece with an additional
filter may not fit completely into the Clicklock.
You must be careful when screwing the threaded ring into the housing: Make sure that the filter doesn't hit the
prism!
The prism itself is protected by a small felt cover, so that the metall shall not hit the glass, but be careful anyway.
We ask you to be carefull when changing filters - avoid damages, and remember that you are working with preci-
sion optics!
