Lumicon Oxygen III Telescope Filter

Catalog description

Lumicon Oxygen III Telescope Filter, part number LUMI003, is a discontinued product from the 2007–2011 catalog. It was last listed at $99.95, down from a high of $199.95.

The renowned original Lumicon OIII narrow bandpass filter (11nm) isolates just the two doubly-ionized oxygen lines (496 and 501nm lines) emitted by planetary and emission nebulae while blocking the rest of the overall spectrum of light. The result is extreme contrast between the black background of space and the delicate photons of OIII light needed for near-photographic views of the Veil Ring Dumbbell and Orion nebulae among other objects. See for yourselfit's truly amazing what the OIII filter allows you to see! Lumicon tests every filter individually on a Perkin-Elmer Double-Beam spectrophotometer inscribing on the filter its % transmission for each of the primary lines.

Do not settle for cheap imitations.

Not intended for photography (use the Lumicon Deep Sky Filter).'
