Description
Monocular Eyepiece Filter 2 Inch Visual Nebulosity For Astronomy TelescopeThere are objects that are so interesting that you should get round to observing them at least once. This includes the famous Horsehead nebula, which adorns so many wonderful astronomy images. But what would it be like to see it 'live' with your own eyes?
With the Svbony H-beta filter and a telescope above 8"-10" in aperture, your wish can come true. The filter allows light to pass only in the hydrogen emission region at 486nm. With a bandpass of 25nm, it is particularly suitable for visual observing.
The filter will do all of the following:
improve contrast between the object and the night sky background
provide a particularly good image under a dark sky
be particularly useful for observing the Horsehead nebula, Cocoon nebula and California nebula
The H-beta filter offers you something more than just the 'everyday sky'; it lets you explore the extraordinary!
Through the use of filters, the Horsehead Nebula can be clearly seen. Filter with metal mount 2" filter threads; Threaded to fit 2" eyepieces and threaded diagonal barrels
This premium Svbony Narrowband H-beta filter is designed for nebula observation allowing 25nm bandwidth of light centered on a wavelength of appr 490nm throughout, about halfway between the H-beta emission line and OIII. It also reduces 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). H-beta emits 486.1nm and it is a blue colored filter. Some images of planetary nebulae and supernova remnants are taken with H-alpha, H-beta and OIII filters. They show great structural details, but have natural colors, looking like an RGB image.
★Main Use and Performance
Suitable for visual observation on most emission nebulae, planetary nebulae and supernova remnants. Suitable for viewing on bright nebulae like M42 Orion Nebula in heavy light pollution. Use with a large aperture telescope under clear and dark viewing conditions with good seeing. Due to the fact that this filter will let through a larger amount of light around the OIII emission line, its main purpose is visual observations, however it can also be used with a small telescope for imaging deep sky objects.
Light pollution filters do not eliminate the effects of light pollution or increase the object’s brightness. In many cases, they increase the contrast between nebula and night sky, not brightening the nebula.
■WARNING:
Svbony filters are not designed for solar observation. DO NOT LOOK AT THE SUN WITH ANY Svbony FILTER as permanent eye damage will be the result.
