Astrophotography

ZWO narrowband S-II 7nm filter passes light at 672nm wavelength with a bandpass of 7nm, which is designed for nebula observation.

Narrowband H-alpha astrophotography filter for high-contrast imaging and revealing rich details of nebulae, even in areas with strong light pollution.

Attach the Sky-Watcher Solar Filter for Maksutov Telescopes securely over the front of your telescope to conduct safe solar viewing. If you are looking at Sun spots, or just wanting to get a closer look at our closest star, this filter will reflect the harmful rays and reduce the intensity of the sunlight making it safe to view through your telescope.

If you need to keep your imaging accessory weight down, this guidescope is just the thing.

NOTE: Weight of the guidescope is 300 grams.
