DESCRIPTION

The 1-1/4" OIII narrowband filter isolates just the two doubly-ionized oxygen lines (496 and 501nm lines) emitted by planetary and emission nebulae, while blocking the rest of the overall spectrum of light. The result is extreme contrast between the black sky background and the faint photons of OIII light needed for detailed views of the Veil, Ring, Dumbbell, Crescent and Orion nebulae, among other objects.

Each filter has an ultra hard, vacuum-deposited coating carefully designed to block all of the visual spectrum ranging from 400 to 700 nm This eliminates the un-natural colored halos surrounding bright stars common with O III filters of less sophisticated coating technology.

Customer Reviews (4.6 / 5 · 5 reviews)

Scarlett H. ★★★★★

Took this out for the Veil Nebula complex last week and the OIII bandpass was razor-sharp, letting the faint wispy structure pop against a nearly black sky.

Henry ★★★★★

Used this on the Veil Nebula through my 8" SCT and the contrast improvement was dramatic—background sky went nearly black while the nebula popped. It really isolates those oxygen lines exactly as described.

Michael A. ★★★★★

Finally got to test this on the Orion Nebula last night, and the contrast on the core detail was incredible compared to my old broadband filter. It isolates those oxygen lines exactly as described, making the faint swirls pop without any halos around brighter stars.
