Item No. 795-36000
Manuf. No. Astrodon NII3_27R
Narrowband (NB) filters enhance contrast of emission objects by accepting only a narrow range of wavelengths around the emission lines of hydrogen (H-a, 656 nm), oxygen (OIII, 501 nm), sulfur (SII, 672nm) and others.
They can be used to image when the moon is up, thereby extending imaging time. They can [...]
