Please note: Agena only sells DGM's "first quality" filters. However, it is our experience that even their first quality filters often have pinholes, sleeks, and/or light scratches. These flaws will have no impact on optical performance and the spectral characteristics of the filter are not compromised. DGM occasionally sells "cosmetic seconds" via their website. We do not sell DGM's cosmetic seconds but please be aware that your first quality DGM filter purchased from us might still have some minor pinholes, sleeks, or light scratches. Despite these imperfections, we believe that DGM filters offer a great value at their price point.

Product Details

DGM Optics GCE Filter in a mounted 1.25" filter cell.

The GCE takes a different approach to Wideband LPR filters by employing a "Notch" design which excludes all the bad stuff, from 540 - 590 nm, while allowing the rest of the visible spectrum to transmit over 90%. This results in a "wideband filter" that provides a slightly brighter image than traditional single band filters which reject most red light. The GCE excels as a general contrast booster with an absolute minimum of star dimming, really enhances dark material in the Milky Way, and even adds some degree of improvement for galaxies. They are also an excellent match for binoculars and the low power-per-inch they offer. And as with all DGM Optics filters features super durable Ion Assisted Plasma Coating Technology.
