What is UHC filter used for?

The UHC filter permits superb views of objects like the Orion, Lagoon, Swan and other extended nebulae. It performs well in smaller aperture instruments owing to its greater light transmission than the O-III, yet still suppresses light pollution well. The UHC filter is the best all-round dark-sky nebula filter.

What is a UHC e filter?

The Astronomik UHC-E filter is our budget filter for deep-sky observation of emission nebulae and comets under light polluted skies. It’s particularly suitable for small ‘scopes. The UHC-E Filter increases contrast of emission nebulae and comets and blocks the light of typical streetlights as well as airglow.

Where are astronomik filters made?

in Germany
Our customers appreciate our uncompromising pursuit and dedication to never-ending improvement to meet and surpass the highest quality standards – Astronomik Filter are “Made in Germany”- and wide range of finely tuned filters to meet nearly all needs.

What is a CLS filter?

Light pollution filters work by filtering out areas of the spectrum with light pollution and allowing wavelengths of interest, such as those from emission lines in emission nebulae to pass through.

What is a CLS CCD filter?

The Astronomik CLS CCD is suitable under light-polluted skies for DSLR Cameras, which have been remodeled for astronomical use. The filter enhances the contrast between all deep-sky objects and the background. The CLS-CCD Filter enhances the contrast between astronomical objects and the background.

What is CLS filter?

What is a UV IR cut filter?

The IR-Cut filter blocks UV and IR wavelengths from reaching the sensor of CCD or CMOS cameras. When imaging, the addition of this filter will result in sharper images, and when using for solar observations, it will protect your H-alpha filter from damaging IR radiation.

What is the astronomik UHC E filter?

Astronomik UHC-E Filter. The Astronomik UHC-E filter is our budget filter for deep-sky observation of emission nebulae and comets under light polluted skies. It’s particularly suitable for small ’scopes. The UHC-E Filter increases contrast of emission nebulae and comets and blocks the light of typical streetlights as well as airglow.

Why choose UHC UHC filters?

Astronomik UHC filters’ astounding high light transmission brings better views of deep-sky-objects even to small telescopes! The high transmission of our optical glass filters means that enough light is available to allow successful visual observations with telescopes beginning at 2″ (50mm) aperture.

Which UHC-E filter is best for my Telescope?

It is best suited for telescopes up to 5″ / 125mm. The Astronomik UHC-E filter provides a FWHM of 45nm and blocks the light of typical streetlights (e.g. sodium and mercury vapour) as well as airglow. Thus it increases contrast between your target and the night sky.

Why choose astronomik filters for telescopes?

The high transmission of our optical glass filters means that enough light is available to allow successful visual observations with telescopes beginning at 2″ (50mm) aperture. Our Astronomik filters are optimized for use with telescope focal length f / ratios of f/4 to f/15.
