- Get the Most Out of Your Origin: Enhance your Celestron Origin’s views and images of nebulae—especially from urban and suburban skies. This filter blocks light pollution, boosts image contrast, and darkens the sky background for noticeably better images.
- Nebulae Come to Life: This filter transmits only the key Hα-Hβ-OIII wavelengths from emission nebulae, making their colors “pop” from the dark background.
- Conquers Light Pollution: With this filter, you allow the “good” wavelengths of light from nebulae through but block the “bad” light pollution from reaching Origin’s sensor.
- Built for Origin’s RASA Optics: Unlike similar filters with narrower bandpasses, this filter was engineered specifically to work with Origin’s fast f/2.2 optics to allow more of the light you want while suppressing the light you don’t.
- Easy Installation: Simply remove the optical window from Origin’s filter drawer and insert the Nebula Filter. It won’t disrupt the optical path of your Origin, and no additional adapters are needed.
- Quality Construction: Constructed of Schott glass with anti-reflective coatings, this filter’s surfaces are optically flat and free from defects.
