Astronomik UHC Filter - 2" Round Mounted
Astronomik UHC Filter - 2" Round Mounted
If you want to get the most out of your deep sky observation, the Astronomik UHC Filter (Ultra High Contrast) is what you’ve been needing. This filter will unlock the faint, nebulous detail, allowing you to see high-contrast views of your favorite deep-space nebulae! Isolating specific wavelengths with narrowband filters makes these targets stand out from the black sky and light pollution. Filters aren’t just for imaging, they can also give you a spectacular view when paired with your eyepieces!
The Astronomik UHC 2" Filter is designed for a versatile deep sky observation experience. UHC filters are ideal for enhancing deep sky objects by boosting contrast and reducing light pollution, making them a great all-purpose option, especially in suburban skies. Using the UHC filter allows 95% transmission at 486nm (H-beta), 496nm (OIII), 501nm (OIII), and 656nm (H-alpha). This filter is made to Astronomik's exacting standards. While transmission ratings may vary between each filter, you can expect a transmission rating of around 95% for this UHC filter. 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 performance benchmark!
Unlock Stellar Detail!
The Astronomik UHC Filter has been rigorously tested to deliver an optical performance that will elevate your experience. This filter brings out stunning detail in popular targets like the Eagle Nebula, Rosette Nebula, Pleiades cluster, and many more. Learn more about the optics and compatibility below!
Compatibility!
This filter works best with telescopes at focal ratios between f/4 and f/15.
Loss of transmission and color displacement, which can be a problem with
other filters on the market, only crop up with Astronomik filters when
ultra-fast focal ratios of f/3 or less are in play. Astronomik UHC filters
work with 2" aperture instruments and above, but work particularly well with
5" apertures and larger. When measured against other available filters, the
Astronomik UHC filter displays more stars along with more nebula
characteristics, and due to the high quality of the glass, you will get
pinpoint stars! This filter is housed in a 2" round mounted filter cell. You can easily thread it to the eyepiece barrel or any threaded 2" accessory!
About the Coatings!
Astronomik UHC Filter coatings are fully sealed and therefore not affected
by moisture. These filters continually maintain their transmission
characteristics. Scratching these incredibly tough coatings by accident
would be impossible! All Astronomik filters are delivered with a durable
plastic storage container of supreme quality.
