TeleVue - Bandmate Mars TYPE A Filter

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).
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. 

	

Bandmate™ Mars Type-A Filter

We all know you can't have your cake and eat it too, but the Bandmate™ Mars Type-A filter
lets you at least have a good taste! The Type-A is a dual band filter with different dielectric
coatings on each side of the substrate. The dual band nature of the filter permits green and red
through while rejecting all other visible colors. The effect is to enhance detail on the Martian
surface while preserving the natural color of the polar caps and rest of the surface. Since this
filter provides a most natural view, it is highly recommended for public viewing.
