Filter Charactristics

Baader SWAN Comet Filter -

The Baader C2 SWAN-Band-Filter with ≤ 15 nm Half-Band-Width isolates the two C2 lines at 511 and 514nm. Making it ideal for a Comet's tails whilst eliminating O3 from the signal.

IDAS LPS-D3 Filter -

The IDAS LPS-D3 filters enhance the contrast of astronomical emission nebulae against a sky with both man-made and natural* sky glow sources, yet preserve the colour balance of broadband objects such as galaxies. As with other IDAS interference filters, the bandpasses are designed to accommodate the steep ray angles of fast optical systems.

Askar Colourmagic HA/OIII & SII/OIII 6nm -

The filter enables the capture of the three main emission nebulae bands using two different filters, whilst suppressing unwanted light pollution. It enables you to capture cleaner data and reduces the post-processing efforts to isolate faint details from the background light pollution
