USED Baader f/2 Highspeed filters

These filters are in great condition! Both are 36mm unmounted.

Description

  • Baader H-alpha / O-III / S-II f / 2 Highspeed Filter Set - Precision Grade
  • 6.5 nm FWHM, recommended for extremely fast optical systems from f / 3.4 to f / 1.8
  • Specially designed for the special filter requirements when used with fast optics like the Celestron RASA astrographs
  • Reflex-Blocker ™ hard coated and planoptically polished - with sealed coating edges ( Life-Coat ™ )
  • Blackened edges all around, with filter-lead-side-indicator in the form of a black frontside outer rim
  • Optimized for modern CMOS cameras, but excellent for CCD camera technologies

The new generation of Baader CMOS-optimized filters features:

  • CMOS-Optimized Baader Filter
  • Increased contrast
  • Ever more narrow passbands
  • Reflex-Blocker™ coatings, for largest ever freedom from halos, even under most adverse conditions concerning aux-optics
  • FWHM on each filter category carefully designed to allow for 1:1:1 exposures, matched for typical CMOS quantum efficiency and s/n ratio
  • Identical filter thickness to existing standards, with utmost care for parfocality
  • Blackened edges all around, with filter-lead-side-indicator in the form of a black frontside outer rim, to additionally eliminate any reflection due to light falling onto the edge of a filter
  • Each filter coated individually, with sealed coating edge (NOT cut out of a larger plate with coatings left exposed read more)
  • Life-Coat™: evermore hard coatings to enable a non-aging coating for life – even in a most adverse environment

Lucy ★★★★★

The narrow 6.5nm bandwidth on these CMOS-optimized filters really cuts through light pollution, and they showed zero halos around bright stars on my first test image. Arrived clean and well-packaged, exactly as described.

Riley C. ★★★★★

I was skeptical buying used filters, but these 36mm ones look barely touched. The O-III really cuts through light pollution on my f/2 scope.

Julian J. ★★★★★

The 6.5nm bandpass on these used filters is incredibly narrow for the price, letting through only the faintest nebula details. I paired them with a fast f/2 scope and the contrast on M42 blew me away. Just a couple of tiny dust specks on one filter, but they don't affect the image at all.
