Key features Celestron 93623
  • Reduces glare and light scattering
  • Anti-reflection coated to prevent glaring and ghosting
  • Made of high quality, solid plane parallel glass with excellent homogeneity
  • For viewing many common nebulas
  • Increases contrast through selective filtration
  • Model: Celestron 93623 Narrowband Oxygen III 1.25 Filter

Review Celestron 93623 Narrowband Oxygen III 1.25 Filter / Celestron 93623:

The OIII narrowband filter isolates just the two doubly-ionized oxygen lines (496 and 501nm lines) emitted by planetary and emission nebulae, while blocking the rest of the overall spectrum of light. The result is extreme contrast between the black sky background and the faint photons of OIII light needed for detailed views of the Veil, Ring, Dumbbell, Crescent and Orion nebulae, among other objects. Each filter has an ultra hard, vacuum-deposited coating carefully designed to block all of the visual spectrum ranging from 400 to 700 nm. This eliminates the un-natural colored halos surrounding bright stars common with O III filters of less sophisticated coating technology. The Celestron 93623 Narrowband Oxygen III 1. 25-inch filter is a remarkable advance for the serious visual observer of emission nebulae. One of the biggest advantages of narrowband filters is that by passing only the light emitted by nebulae, light from artificial sources like street lights is blocked. This allows you to take detailed exposures of nebulas from a suburban location that can rival shots from much darker sites. The Celestron 93623 is made of high quality, solid plane parallel glass.

  • Model: Konus 60mm x 800mm K-J AZ Refractor Telescope with Moon Filter

Review Konus 60mm x 800mm K-J AZ Refractor Telescope with Moon Filter / Konus 1730:

The KONUS 60mm x 800mm K-J AZ Refractor Telescope is perfect for the astronomy beginner. The sleek Italian design of this telescope makes it easy for anyone to handle while observing the sky. The 800mm tube provides a longer focal length than other telescopes of this type for added power. This telescope has an AZ mount, which ensures stability for adjustments from side to side or up and down. A micro adjustable stabilizer bar provides precise altitude adjustments and increased stability when viewing objects. A moon filter is also included which increases the contrast of the moon enabling the user to see more details in the sky. This Refractor Telescope gathers light through the objective lens and then magnifies it through the eyepiece. Refractor telescopes are perfect for observing stars and planets and for terrestrial observation. What does it all mean? 60mm x 800mm The first number refers to the size of the objective lens or the aperture of the telescope. Larger apertures provide a brighter image with greater resolution, especially in dim lighting or deep sky observation. [+]
The second number (800mm) refers to the focal length of the telescope or the distance the light travels from the lens to the focused image. Longer focal lengths provide more power through a variety of eyepieces. AZ An Alt-azimuth mount allows the telescope to move from side to side or up and down. Refractor This type of telescope was invented by Galileo and collects light through the lens and passes it to the eyepiece where it is magnified. Refractor telescopes produce images with greater detail and contrast. Moon Filter A special filter that is attached to the eyepiece to reduce the brightness of the moon, allowing the observer to see more details. Product Description KONUS 1730 KON.

Just center them to fine tune your alignment and the wonders of the universe are at your fingertips. Meade individually figures their water-white corrector lenses and Pyrex primary and secondary mirrors for superior light transmission, temperature stability, smoothness and correction. OVERSIZED PRIMARY MIRROR: Only Meade manufactures their primary mirrors in diameters larger than their listed aperture (e. g. the diameter of the 8" LX90's primary mirror is actually 8. 25"). This additional 1/4" yields a wider, fully illuminated field -of-view, and allows you to see t he light other telescopes leave behind. SLE.

Review Kendrick 8" Baader Visual & Photographic Solar Filter for SCT's & fits Tubes with ODs 214 to 224mm / Kendrick:

Kendrick "Baader" Astro Solar Filters are full aperture filters (some are "Off Axis" type, if indicated) for all the most commonly used telescopes in amateur astronomy. The cells are aluminum and all have three nylon thumb screws to facilitate a secure fit on the front of your telescope. The filter material itself is the famous BAADER AstroSolar Film. This film has set a new standard for white light filters and gives a very pleasing and high resolution image. The image color is a bluish white. Optical quality: This highest precision film consistently produces strehl ratios of 94 to 96 percent at interferometric tests - thus it performs optically like a Fluorite Triplet Lens by Carl Zeiss or Astro Physics (Interferometric test results). With Baader AstroSolar filters the Sun appears in it's real color - Neutral White. Other films and most glass filters produce a blurry Bluish or Reddish Solar image, thereby cutting part of the spectrum. Especially with an Orange Sun, it is very hard to see faculae regions which are visible predominantly in the Blue wing of the spectrum. Eye safety: AstroSolar is essentially free from pinholes, since - other than with even the most expensive glass filters - it is coated on both sides, so that the chance of two pinholes overlapping each other is extremely faint. [+]
Baader AstroSolar safety film has been approved for eye safety by the National Bureau of Standards in Germany, the PTB. Unlike any other Sola.
