A versatile astro-imaging and general-purpose mount with a 20kg payload capacity.

The ZWO 7nm OIII filter is centered around the Oxygen III band of 501nm. Oxygen III or double ionised oxygen occurs at  primarily at 500.7nm and secondarily 495.9nm.  The highest levels of OIII are usually found in diffuse and planetary nebulae. The OIII emission lines were first discovered in the 1860s in spectra of planetary nebulae.  OIII wavelengths relate to the green-turquoise-cyan in colour on the spectrum whilst the narrowband width makes the background space very black.

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!

The ZWO ASI6200MC-P is a full-frame 62-megapixel cooled colour camera built around Sony's back-illuminated IMX455 sensor, delivering exceptional sensitivity, native 16-bit ADC output, and a dynamic range of up to 14 stops. With ultra-low readout noise of just 1.2e, zero amp glow, and two-stage TEC cooling for virtually negligible dark current, it's an outstanding choice for serious deep-sky astrophotography.

Designed to be used with ATX and STX Spotting Scopes.

NOTE: This adapter also requires the VPA Variable Phone Adapter to hold your phone.
