This H-alpha Filter is suitable for imaging of Hydrogen nebulas from observation sites with light pollution and from dark sites as well. The FWHm of 12nm is optimized for typical DSLR cameras with CMOS sensors and CCD cameras with a normal/high dark current.
This SII Filter is suitable for imaging of SII-regions from observation sites with light pollution and from dark sites as well. Contrast is massively increased.
The Antlia SII 3.0nm filter is suitable for imaging SII emissions from nebulae, planetary nebulae and supernova remnants. The 3.0nm bandwidth delivers a high transmission at a center wavelength of 671.6nm.
Narrowband filters are used to create high contrast deep sky images of certain objects, mainly emission and diffuse nebulae (i.e. Veil Nebula, M42 Orion Nebula, North America Nebula, Horsehead Nebula) or planetary nebulae
The ZWO OIII 7nm narrowband filter is designed for nebula observation allowing 7nm bandwidth of light centered on a wavelength of 500nm, which corresponds to OIII emission lines, blocking out all other light.
The ZWO SII 7nm narrowband filter passes light at 672nm wavelength with a bandpass of 7nm which is designed for nebula observation and imaging. It is suitable for visual observation on most emission nebulae, planetary nebulae and supernova remnants
This H-alpha Filter is suitable for imaging of Hydrogen nebulas from observation sites with light pollution and from dark sites as well. The contrast between an object glowing at 656nm and the background is massively increased.
For solar work use only with 3.8 AstroSolar 200x290mm Photo Film (included). Never use any eyepiece filter for solar observation without objective front filter. Non-ageing sealed coating edges.
The out of band blocking specification of the new OIII Pro version is rated to OD5 (0.001%) which delivers an excellent SNR (signal to noise ratio) and effective cut-off rate to minimize interference from other wavelengths.
IDAS NBZ Filters are designed to enhance the contrast of Hα and OIII emission nebula, yet accommodate the filter spectral shift when used with modern fast optical systems. This dual-band filter is ideal for one-shot color cameras as well as mono-color astronomical cameras.
The Antlia SII 3.0nm filter is suitable for imaging SII emissions from nebulae, planetary nebulae and supernova remnants. The 3.0nm bandwidth delivers a high transmission at a center wavelength of 671.6nm
For the vast majority of us, we live in cities or locations with a lot of street lights. Light pollution in the night sky can significantly degrade contrast in astronomical images.
