  5.   O-III Super-G Filter (9nm) - CMOS optimized

    O-III Super-G Filter (9nm) - CMOS optimized

    From: € 89.00 Price excl. German VAT tax (19%): € 74.79

    • The best visual and photographic filter for contrast enhancement for all telescopes, without loss of image brightness!
    • The effect of the element neodymium as filter material is very impressive. When added to optical glass, it enhances contrast, enhances the red colour in the image (especially with Mars and Jupiter) and it darkens the spectral region which is particularly marked by street lamp light, which is the biggest contributor to the nightly "Skyglow".
    • Planoptically polished and MC-coated – with IR-cut coatings!, without any loss of sharpness as a single filter in front of a binocular or be used for afocal projection with digital cameras (far from the focal point!)
    • The IR spectral range is blocked making stars much sharper when used with dSLRs.
    • The Baader Moon & Skyglow Neodymium Filter are two filters in one: Neodymium contrast enhancement filter and UV/IR blocker.

  9.   Baader IR-Pass Filter (685 nm)

    Baader IR-Pass Filter (685 nm)

    From: € 90.00 Price excl. German VAT tax (19%): € 75.63
    • Baader IR-Pass Filer HWB 685nm
    • Reduces the effect of seeing resulting in a much sharper image.
    • Tip for use: Ideal for imaging and used for the luminosity channel.
    • The effect of use: The normal spectral bandwidth is 400-700nm. This filter starts at 670nm in the deep red, just in the visual range so it can be focussed correctly. At this long-wavelength spectral range the atmospheric air turbulence (seeing) has much lower impact on the sharpness. Dark structures on Mars, Jupiter the Moon and the Sun are thereby rendered much sharper. The luminosity can then be combined with RGB creating a very sharp LRGB image.
    • Highly recommended for any planetary imager.
    • Reflex free anti-reflective and optically polished.

  10.   Baader Fringe Killer Color Correction-Filter

    Baader Fringe Killer Color Correction-Filter

    From: € 92.00 Price excl. German VAT tax (19%): € 77.31

    • The smaller details on craters of the Moon and planetary surfaces are so much more visible!
    • Planeoptically polished; can be used well before the focal point of the optical system, without any loss of sharpness, as a single filter in front of a binocular for afocal projection with digital cameras.
    • Provides the brightest picture of all industrially manufactured colour error-correction systems. Thus, the Fringe-Killer is a must for small refractors!
