Review Lumicon Visual Back Deep-sky Filter for visual back / Lumicon:

The Lumicon Deep-Sky Filter is THE foremost broadband filter efficiently blocking ALL mercury-vapor and high & low pressure sodium-vapor lamp light, neon lights and airglow, while allowing the rest of the visible spectrum through. The superior contrast gain between the object you're viewing and the black background of space allows you to view galaxies, nebula, star clusters, comets, etc. wonderfully - when observing from light-polluted urban skies - making it the best all-around visual light pollution filter. The Lumicon Deep-Sky Filter's high transmission in the H-alpha end of the spectrum makes it THE ONLY premium astrophotographic filter on the market for not only color photographs, but also for black & white photos and CCD work. Lumicon tests every filter individually on a Perkin-Elmer Double-Beam spectrophotometer, inscribing on the filter its % transmission for each of the primary spectral lines. Do not settle for cheap, foreign-made, low-transmission broadband filters.

Review Lumicon 1.25" UHC Ultra-High Contrast narrow bandpass filter for 1.25" / Lumicon:

The Original Lumicon Ultra-High Contrast narrow bandpass filter (24nm) isolates just the two doubly-ionized oxygen lines (496 and 501nm lines) and H-Beta line (486nm) emitted by emission and planetary nebulae, while blocking the rest of the overall spectrum of light. The result is extreme contrast between the black background and the delicate photons of nebula light needed for near-photographic views of the Orion, Lagoon, Swan and planetary nebulae, among others. This makes the Lumicon UHC Filter the best all-around nebular filter on the market today. See for yourself - it's truly amazing what the Lumicon UHC filter allows you to see! Lumicon tests every filter individually on a Perkin-Elmer Double Beam spectrophotometer, inscribing on the filter its % transmission for each of the primary lines.
