Herschel Prism

Xavier, your eclipse models and tools are really excellent!

I plan to photograph the Venus transit with a Canon 5D mark II through a Baader Herschel Prism and a 130mm aperture refractor at 1000mm focal length. Do you have any experience with one of these prisms and if so, any thoughts on alternate settings?

regards and thanks

No personal experience with a Herschel prism, but I did have a look a couple of months ago. Adding a Solar Continuum filter is from what I was told even better.
