Original manufacturer description below. Improved description/specifications coming soon.
Narrowband OIII-CCD 3nm filter is designed for nebula observation allowing 3nm bandwidth of light centered on a wavelength of 500nm through, which corresponds to OIII emission line, and reducing the transmission of certain wavelengths of light, specifically those produced by artificial light including mercury vapor, and both high and low pressure sodium vapor lights and the unwanted natural light caused by neutral oxygen emission in our atmosphere (i.e.skyglow).
OIII emits 495.9nm and 500.7nm and it is a blue-green colored filter. Many of images of planetary nebula and supernova remnants are taken only with H-Alpha and OIII filters. They show great structural details, but have natural colors, looking like an RGB image.
Features:
- Give you higher contrast and greater detailed viewing
- Decrease background noise and improve the contrast of objects
- Increase the faint nebula signal to make it brighter
