SKU: F9186B
US$ 60.79 -20%
List Price: US$ 75.99
  • The O-III filter completely blocks virtually all other visible wavelengths of light so views of nebulas are optimized;increases contrast through selective filtration-Anti-reflection coated to prevent glaring and ghosting
  • The filter made from high-grade glass with dichroic interference and antireflection coatings;not only useful at light-polluted sites; the contrast is also increased at dark sky sites;it can be used with all 2" eyepieces
  • Narrowband filter 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
  • The 2" O-III filter useful for large aperture telescopes through which the light of the Moon can be extremely overwhelming. Allowing just for the Double Ionized Oxygen lines between 495.9nm to 500.7nm to pass through at 90%
  • Astrophotographic;The filter enhances contrast during visual observation of gaseous and planetary nebulae in all sky conditions; 2" filter allows high-contrast imaging even in areas with strong light pollution

wow!

I went from wondering if there was really an owl nebula there to being able to clearly define the nebula straight on in sub par skies. When using averted vision, I could occasionally make out the "eyes" in my 10" dob. Filter offers substantial improvement for cost.

Look up and open your eyes to the sky

Item is just as advertised and works well, it is superbly made with good quality material. I find it a must have for stargazing and looking for those nebulas in all their beauty and splendor. The price is right and quality is spot on. Keep your eye on the sky…

1. Narrowband OIII filter is designed for nebula observation allowing 18nm bandwidth of light centered on a wavelength of 500nm through, which corresponds to OIII emission lines, and reducing the transmission of certain wavelengths of light, specifically those produced by artificial light including mercury vapor, and both high and low pressure sodium vapor lights and the unwanted natural light caused by neutral oxygen emission in our atmosphere

2. Svbony narrowband OIII filter suitable for visual  observation on most emission nebulae, planetary nebulae and supermova surfaces

3. Suitable for viewing on bright nebulae like M42 Orion Nebula in heavy light pollution

4. Use with a large aperture telescope under clear and dark viewing conditions with good seeing

5. Narrowband filter 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
