FILTERS
OXYGEN III NARROWBAND FILTERS
The OIII narrowband filter 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 con-
trast between the black sky background and the faint photons of OIII light
needed for detailed views of the Veil, Ring, Dumbbell, Crescent & Orion
nebulae.
Each filter has an ultra hard, vacuum-deposited coating carefully designed to block all of the
visual spectrum ranging from 400 to 700 nm. This eliminates the unnatural colored halos
surrounding bright stars common with OIII filters of less sophisticated coating technology.

SKYLIGHT FILTER (for Schmidt-Cassegrains)
If you were to use only one filter, Celestron’s Skylight Filter/Dust Seal would
be your most versatile choice. This general purpose, Wratten #1A filter
improves color saturation and balance, increases visual and photographic
contrast, helps to decrease glare in lunar and planetary observing, and
penetrates atmospheric haze. It’s also an inexpensive way to protect your
investment in quality optics. This filter threads onto the rear cell of your
Celestron C5, C6, C8, C9.25, C11 or C14 telescope to serve as an effective dust seal. By leav-
ing the Skylight Filter/Dust Seal on when removing or attaching other visual accessories, you
prevent dust and other atmospheric contaminants from entering the rear of your telescope.

UHC/LPR FILTERS
Our Light Pollution Reduction (LPR)
Filters are designed to selectively
reduce the transmission of certain
wavelengths of light, specifically
those produced by artificial light.
This includes mercury vapor, and
both high and low pressure sodi-
um vapor lights and the unwanted
natural light caused by neutral oxygen emission in our atmosphere (i.e. sky glow).
The Ultra High Contrast (UHC) LPR filter has improved contrast over the typical broadband fil-
ters. Sky background is darker, and contrast of emission nebulae are noticeably improved.
The advanced technology coatings enable the filter to achieve an outstanding transmission
of over 97% across the entire bandpass, with total blockage of prominent light pollution
lines. The perfect filter for viewing nebulae from light polluted skies, or for boosting the con-
trast of nebulae from dark sky sites.
The multi-layer dielectric coatings are plasma assisted and ion beam hardened using the
latest technology for durability and resistance to scratching.
