2. Explore Scientific 2 Variabele Polarisatiefilter
Universally usable variable polarizing filter with two filter threads. This variable polarizing filter allows for continuous adjustment of image brightness. This is very helpful for individually balancing strong contrast differences in various observation objects. Especially during moon and planet observation, as well as solar observation, this filter prevents the overexposure of fine details. Solar observation should only be done in conjunction with a suitable solar protection filter. Particularly when using a Herschel wedge and with large aperture lenses, the variable polarizing filter can reduce the brightness of the observation objects to a comfortable level. The wide adjustment range of 40% to 1% light transmission and the neutral gray filter effect create a pleasant and unaltered image. The operation is very simple. By rotating the two housing halves, the desired strength of the filter effect is set. There are filter threads on both sides (inside/outside) for the simultaneous use of additional color filters.
3. Vaonis Dual Band Filter for Vespera
Vaonis Dual Band Filter for Vespera
The Vespera Dual Band Filter is a narrowband interference filter that significantly enhances the quality of your images, whether you are photographing in the city or in nature. By precisely selecting the wavelengths of Hydrogen Alpha (H-Alpha) and Oxygen III (O-III), which are primarily found in nebulae, the filter increases the contrast between the star object and the sky background. This results in better image quality with sharper stars and finer details.
Features:
- Improves photo quality
- Ideal for nebula photography
- Increases contrast between the sky background and the star object
- Refines stars and details
- The dual band filter only allows two specific wavelengths to pass through to the Vespera sensor: O-III and H-Alpha
- Usable at full aperture
- The lens ring is equipped with an electronic microchip that allows Vespera to recognize the dual band filter and adjust its observation and image processing parameters
- The filter has a bandwidth of 12 nm at each wavelength (O-III = 500.7 nm, H-Alpha = 656.3 nm)
- Compatible with Vaonis Vespera.
4. Vaonis CLS Filter for Vespera
Vaonis CLS Filter for Vespera
With the Vespera light pollution filter or CLS filter (City Light Suppression), you can enhance the quality of your photos when observing in urban or suburban areas. It reduces the effects of light pollution, thereby increasing the contrast between the photographed celestial object and the background sky. Essential for observing from a location with high light pollution.
The filter improves the quality of nebula photography. The broadband filter blocks wavelengths from sodium and mercury, which are primarily emitted by urban night lighting or unwanted natural light, while allowing the main wavelengths of celestial objects to pass through. The light pollution filter is particularly useful for enhancing the brightness of deep-sky objects such as nebulae, star clusters, and galaxies. Due to the filtered wavelengths, it is especially effective for emission nebulae.
Features:
- CLS Filter for Vespera (AC023)
- Transparent storage box
- Dimensions: Depth: 0.6 cm, Width: 7.80 cm
- Color: Black (outside)
- Materials: Glass, Plastic
- Weight: approx. 15 g.
