Baader Planetarium
Baader Planetarium: Over 50 Years of Innovation in Astronomy
From accessories to turnkey observatories
The company Baader Planetarium is a middle sized enterprise having 50 years experience in producing and installing astronomical equipment.
More than 600 observatory domes of sizes from 2 m up to 8.5 m have been mounted, together with a large number of projection domes for planetarium installations up to 10 m in diameter. Observatory domes serve for a multitude of applications for scientific use around the world specialized to work under the hardest of environments, with installations in Antarctica (Dome C - 84°C) to high Arctic regions such as Svalbard (NyAalesund -45°C), Ellesmere Island (Eureca -60°C), in desert conditions with hermetic seals against dust and a number of high Alpine locations. Also the company specializes in high end robotic telescopes with apertures up to one meter as European sole distributor of Planewave Instruments USA, telescope mounts of varuious configurations, Echelle spectrographs featuring a resolution up to 20 000 lambda/delta lambda under Licence of MaxPlanck Institution(MPI).

€ 84.00 Price excl. German VAT tax (19%): € 70.59- Much larger prism as in the so-called "Erecting prism"
- Many Erect image prisms have only 19 mm free passage opening and therefore are not suitable for terrestrial observations at low magnifications, because the field of the eyepiece is shaded by the too small prism.

- Baader H-alpha Ultra-Narrowband Filter – Premium Grade
- 3.5 nm FWHM (to harmonize the exposure time with O-III / S-II), recommended for optical systems from > f/3.4
- For highest contrast even at strongest light pollution, minimizes star size, emphasizes finest nebula detail – indispensable under Bortle 9/8/7/(6) skies
- Reflex-Blocker™ hard coated and planeoptically polished – with sealed coating edges (Life-Coat™)
- Blackened edges all around, with filter-lead-side-indicator in the form of a telescope-sided black outer rim
- Optimized for modern CMOS cameras, but likewise excellent for CCD camera technologies
We explicitly warn against observing the sun with a DeepSky 3.5 nm (equivalent to 35 Ångstroem) H-alpha narrowband filter, specialized solar chromosphere and prominence filters from SolarSpectrum start at 0.8 Ångstroem. Photographic experiments with a camera are theoretically possible, but by no means observe the sun with naked eyes – you endanger your eyesight!
