Hmmm... I have the 1.25" Lunt Solar Wedge and it does have the ND3 filter installed. Interesting to read that you apparently MUST use a polarising or solar continuum filter at the eyepiece though. I purchased the Baader Solar Continuum with the wedge, but must admit, I have looked through the wedge without the filter attached. Was a very bright image, but I didn't feel it was damaging my eye. Pretty terrible to think that the instruction manual doesn't advise that you MUST use a secondary filter or permanent damage could occur. I'd be pretty disappointed if I go for an eye test and it is found that I have damaged my eyesight with absolutely no warning on something as potentially hazardous as a solar filter!
