Product information "EXPLORE SCIENTIFIC 1.25" O-III Nebula Filter 6.5nm (Refurbished)"
NOTE: This item is a used or returned product. This means: The item may show slight signs of use and the packaging may differ from the original packaging. Please note that refurbished items generally come with a 12-month warranty.
The EXPLORE SCIENTIFIC O-III filter uses a characteristic property of the so-called emmission nebulae.
Those objects glow in special colors, the so-called emmission lines.
Those emmission lines are linked to chemical elements - in this case
oxygen. The EXPLORE SCIENTIFIC O-III nebula filter blocks all other colors (and thereby nearly all of the artificial light) and only the two emmission lines of the oxygen can pass the filter.
The result is astonishing: suddenly, nebulae are visible in locations
that were completely empty without using filters. In suburban skies, for
example, the veil nebula NGC 6992 is almost invisible with a 200 mm
telescope. By using this filter you can see the nebula and its
structures without any difficulties. A must for every visual observer and for astrophotography.
The EXPLORE SCIENTIFIC nebula filters come with an individual test certificate - your guarantee for receiving a premium filter.
This filter's narrow passband of only 6.5 nm bandwidth highlights the
faint emission nebulae or makes them visible even under difficult urban
conditions.
- enables the observation of so-called emmission nebulae
- blocks almost the entire artificial light
- only the two emmission lines of the oxygen passes the filter
- band pass width: 6.5 nm
- narrow band version for difficult urban conditions
- allows more contrast for faint deep sky objects
- ideal for use near cities, in heavy brightened skies
- individual test certificate included to guarantee you receive a premium filter

Warning notes
- General safety instructions DANGER Risk of eye injuries! Never look directly at the sun or near the sun through this device. There is a risk of blindness! Children should only use the device under supervision. Keep packaging materials (plastic bags, rubber bands, etc.) away from children! There is a risk of suffocation! FIRE HAZARD! Do not expose the device especially the lenses to direct sunlight! The light concentration could cause fires. RISK of material damage! Do not dismantle the device! In case of a defect, please contact your dealer. They will contact the service center and may send the device in for repair. Do not expose the device to temperatures above 60°C!
- Never look at the sun through an eyepiece/telescope without a certified protection filter. A moon filter can never be used for solar observation. The moon filter is only suitable for moon observation. The solar filter must be mounted in front of the telescope opening, not at the eyepiece. Otherwise, the concentrated light beam through the optics will immediately destroy the filter foil, leading to severe eye damage, including permanent blindness.
- Never leave the optics unattended. Children and inexperienced adults could point the telescope at the sun without proper precautions and lose their eyesight.
- Do not expose the device to high temperatures.
