Telescopes & Astronomy

Enhances:

• Lunar detail
• Polar ice caps of Mars in large telescopes
• Polar regions on Saturn
• Limb hazes and terminator clouds of Mars
• Clouds and atmospheric haze on Venus, reduces glare

These are safe full aperture (sometimes referred as clear aperture) solar filters. This means that it allows the most light possible into the telescope because it allows the full aperture of your telescope to be viewed. The full aperture allows the best possible daytime viewing when there is minimal atmospheric turbulence.

The Sirius 2 inch LRGB Filter Set delivers accurate, natural color reproduction for CCD astrophotography of planets, stars, and nebulae.

The ZWO narrowband O-III 7nm filter is designed for nebula observation allowing 7nm bandwidth of light centered on a wavelength of 500nm through,  which corresponds to OIII emission lines, blocking out all other light.  Adding the ZWO O-III Narrowband filter to your imaging collection will help you go beyond the RGB imaging and will help capture your favorite nebulas in a totally new light, no matter how polluted your skies may be!
