More details about Steeldrive II

• Available in 6 colours for contrast enhancement of lunar and planetary observations.
• Largest free opening of all the colour filters on the market which eliminates any vignetting.
• Double 7-layer anti-reflection coating with only 0.25% residual reflection per surface (Phantom Group Coating)
• Available Filters: Dark Blue Filter, Light Blue Filter, Green Filter, Yellow Filter, Orange Filter and Red Filter.
• Both sides 7-layer AR coating with only 0.25% residual reflection per surface. This is the most antireflective that has ever been undertaken with color filters.

• Focal lengths Fine Tuning for Hyperion eyepieces (all focal lengths)
• Optical path length 14mm
• Spacer rings fit between the negative lens and the 2 "barrel, so that it matches the respective eyepiece to your needs.
• The 13 mm eyepiece transform e.g. no loss of quality in a 9- or 11 mm eyepiece.

• Baader S-II Ultra-Narrowband Filter – Premium Grade
• 4 nm FWHM, 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

• Full field sharpness: The ultra-sharp 76° undistorted flat field is unsurpassed by any other modern wide field eyepiece. Also on-axis sharpness and contrast rivals our best, ever released planetary eyepieces, the Zeiss Abbe ZAO I & II.
• Long Eye Relief and optimized for bino-viewing:  ~ 20mm of eye relief provides that famous spacewalk feeling, incredibly impressive with bino and both eyes.
