Hi
 My Norwegen friend says that it is Danish. The fellow
is talking about using a Herchel wedge to view the sun. He says he gets a
green image.
 At the end he says that this does not match the
discriptions of this setup that he has seen in the past from this list. I
assume that his question is why this is different. Anyone on the list use a
wedges to view the sun?
