Product information "EXPLORE SCIENTIFIC 2" O-III Nebula Filter 6.5nm"
The EXPLORE SCIENTIFIC O-III filteruses a characteristic property of the so-called emission nebulae. Those objects glow in special colours, the so-called emission lines. Those emission lines are linked to chemical elements - in this case, oxygen. The EXPLORE SCIENTIFIC O-III nebula filterblocks all other colours (and thereby nearly all the artificial light) and only the two emission 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 filterscome 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.
