Astromania O-III Filter 2 Inch Telescope Filter Narrowband Nebula Filters
Product Description
Astromania O-III Filter 2 Inch Telescope Filter Narrowband Nebula Filters
- This O-III filter enhances contrast during visual observation of gaseous and planetary nebulae; The 2" filter allows high-contrast imaging even in areas with strong light pollution for making it top choice for deep-sky observers and astrophotographers
- Especially useful for large aperture telescopes through which Moon can be extremely overwhelming; It allows just the Double Ionized Oxygen lines between 496nm to 501nm to pass through at 95% for delivering superb contrast for faint nebulae
- O-III filter completely blocks virtually all other visible wavelengths so views of nebulas are optimized; Increases contrast through selective filtration while anti-reflection coating prevents glaring & ghosting for crisp clear images of planetary nebulae
- Telescope filter is made from high-grade glass with dichroic interference and antireflection coatings; Not only is it useful at light-polluted sites the contrast is also increased at dark sky sites and it can be used with all 2" eyepieces
- Narrowband filters do not eliminate the effects of light pollution or increase the object’s brightness; In many cases they increase the contrast between nebula and night sky not brightening the nebula – so you get clearer more defined views of Nebulas
- Whether capturing long-exposure astrophotography or simply enjoying night of visual stargazing this O-III filter enhances contrast of gaseous and planetary nebulae in all sky conditions; A must-have astronomy filter for your 2" telescope eyepieces
- This 2 inch nebula filter fits virtually any standard telescope eyepiece Barlow lens or camera adapter; Perfect for most astronomical telescopes; Ideal for deep-sky observation planetary nebula hunting and city stargazing
The Astromania 2" O-III Filter is comparable to the Astromania UHC filter in its function. The difference is that this filter only allows the light of doubly ionized oxygen through. This means that there is an enormous increase in contrast with diffuse, planetary and extremely dim nebulae. This is a special narrowband filter which allows an even smaller range of wavelengths than the Astromania UHC filter. Even so, there are innumerable astronomical objects which can be first observed in detail with this filter or cannot be seen at all without it. A prime example is the Veil nebula in the constellation of Cygnus. It's a great accessory for observations of nebulae due to its capability to suppress all light that lies outside its 4960-5010 angstrom (496-501 nm) passband. This filter can be used for astrophotography as well. The O-III 2" Filter has a standart barrel diameter so you can use it with a telescope of any brand. Note that this filter gives a green tint to observed objects. The O-III provides an even greater contrast boost on some objects than the UltraBlock narrowband filter. And for nebulas, every little bit helps! It substantially improves contrast and outperforms the UHC for most planetary nebulae while on apertures of 10" or more, it outperforms the UHC filter for all types of nebulae. The Astromania 2" O-III Filter isolates just the two doubly ionized oxygen lines (496 and 501nm lines) emitted by diffuse, planetary and extremely faint nebulae. Thus, these faint objects become much more visible against the blackened background of space. The Astromania 2" O-III Filter produces near-photographic views of the Veil, Ring, Dumbbell and Orion nebula, among many other objects. Performs well under both light-polluted and dark skies.
