Broadband filter blocks the most common wavelengths of light pollution for increased contrast and better views
SkyGlow eyepiece filters improve views of nebulas, galaxies as well as open and globular star clusters
1.25" filter with metal filter cell construction compatible with all 1.25" Orion telescope eyepieces and filter-threaded 1.25" accessories
Our SkyGlow is an advanced multilayer interference filter designed to enhance deep-sky observing in moderately light-polluted skies. It blocks the most common wavelengths of light pollution - predominantly produced by mercury vapor lamps - and allows higher transmission of critical hydrogen-alpha and hydrogen-beta lines. Bright, light-polluted skies appear much darker in the field of view and contrast significantly enhanced, particularly emission nebulas like the Orion and Lagoon. Views of galaxies and clusters are also improved.
