One of the most important obstacles for the exploration of the night sky
is the brightening of the night sky by artificial lighting, such as
streetlights. The night sky is not really dark in the vicinity of towns
or cities, which reduces the visibility of objects beyond the solar
system enormously. Depending on the type of celestial object, it is
possible to increase the contrast dramatically by blocking the interfering artificial light.
FEATURES
The EXPLORE SCIENTIFIC O-III filter uses a characteristic property of the so-called emmission nebulae.
Those objects glow in special colors, the so-called emmission lines.
Those emmission lines are linked to chemical elements - in this case
oxygen. The EXPLORE SCIENTIFIC O-III nebula filter blocks all other colors (and thereby nearly all of the artificial light) and only the two emmission lines of the oxygen can pass the filter.
The result is astonishing: suddenly, nebulae are visible in locations
that were completely empty without using filters. In suburban skies, for
example, the veil nebula NGC 6992 is almost invisible with a 200 mm
telescope. By using this filter you can see the nebula and its
structures without any difficulties. A must for every visual observer and for astrophotography.
The EXPLORE SCIENTIFIC nebula filters come with an individual test certificate - your guarantee for receiving a premium filter.
This filter's narrow passband of only 6.5 nm bandwidth highlights the
faint emission nebulae or makes them visible even under difficult urban
conditions.
- enables the observation of so-called emmission nebulae
- blocks almost the entire artificial light
- only the two emmission lines of the oxygen passes the filter
- band pass width: 6.5 nm
- narrow band version for difficult urban conditions
- allows more contrast for faint deep sky objects
- ideal for use near cities, in heavy brightened skies
- individual test certificate included to guarantee you receive a premium filter
