• German engineering, made in Germany

About the Astronomik MaxFR 2" OIII 12 nm CCD Filter

This 12 nm MaxFR oxygen CCD filter is suitable for imaging OIII nebulas both in conditions of light pollution or dark skies! Blocking all wavelengths from UV to infrared (including the emission lines of sodium/Na and mercury/Hg artificial lighting) except between 494 nm and 506 nm, the MaxFR OIII provides increased contrast for the doubly ionized oxygen emitted by OIII nebulae at these wavelengths. In addition, this 12 nm OIII filter blocks the infrared up to 1150 nm, eliminating the need for a separate IR-blocker. Using this filter guarantees 90% transmission or more at OIII (501 nm). This filter is made to Astronomik's exacting standards. While transmission ratings may vary between each filter, you are guaranteed a transmission rating greater than 90%, with a typical transmission rating of around 95% for the 12 nm OIII. The specific T-Max will be listed on the filter case. You can rest easy knowing that every unit is thoroughly tested and guaranteed to meet Astronomik's stellar benchmark of performance!

The Astronomik MaxFR 2" Round Mounted OIII 12 nm CCD Filter is the optimal narrowband filter for CCD astrophotography. With a 12 nm FWHM, this parfocal filter is ideal for standard CCD cameras, allowing very fast optics to be employed.

About the Astronomik MaxFR Filter Line

This high quality line of astrophotography filters uses a built-in MFR coating technique to produce the best out-of-band blocking possible, from the ultraviolet to the infrared. The MaxFR filter line by Astronomik is manufactured using an entirely new process specifically designed for fast optical systems and focal ratios. This results in extremely high contrast with no haloing!

Please note this filter must NEVER be used for solar observing or imaging. Doing so will cause permanent damage to your eyes.
