Bandmate™ filters yield bright, sharp and contrasty images - even in the optically sensitive position in front of the diagonal. Optical glass and red filtering allows for sharp and bright views of nebulae with embedded star clusters - such as the Lagoon Nebula (M8).Bandmate™ OIII Filter This OIII filter particularly enhances planetary nebulae in larger telescopes. * Narrowband filter for high transmission, with high blocking of unwanted longer wavelengths to yield high-contrast images. * Ion beam technology and optical glass produces low scatter in a hard stable coating to reduce changes due to temperature and humidity. * Optical quality ground and polished BK7 glass yields sharp star images - even when filter is placed in front of diagonal. 100% quality control: * Every single filter is checked optically and cosmetically to assure performance. * Every filter is individually serialized. Features of TeleVue Bandmate™ Filters * Optical grade BK7 glass to insure no image degradation due to the substrate. * Ion beam deposition of the coatings produces hard, stable coatings to reduce changes due to temperature and humidity. * Dielectric filter for high transmission and blocking of unwanted wavelengths provide high contrast images. * Aluminum filter cells precision machined and laser etched. |
