About

A visual OIII filter with a narrow 12 nm window over both oxygen lines, blocking sodium and mercury street lighting and airglow for a large contrast gain on gaseous and planetary nebulae and faint supernova remnants. Suits f/3.5 to f/15 and apertures from 6" up. This is the version that threads onto a Schmidt-Cassegrain rear cell.
