Astrophotographic filter Optolong deep space OIII-CCD 6.5 nm round 36x2.0mm without frame

The OIII-CCD 6.5nm is a very narrow band filter designed for nebula observation, centered at a wavelength of 500nm, which corresponds to the OIII emission lines and drastically reduces the transmission of certain stray light wavelengths, specifically those produced by artificial light including mercury vapor, and high and low pressure sodium vapor lights and unwanted natural light caused by the emission of neutral oxygen in our atmosphere (i.e. skyglow).

OIII emits 495.9 nm and 500.7 nm, making it a blue-green filter. Many images of planetary nebula and supernova remnants are taken only with H-alpha and OIII filters; they show great structural detail, but have natural colors, similar to an RGB image.

Applications

  • Suitable for visual observation in most emission nebulae, planetary nebulae and supernova remnants.
  • Imaging with a Hubble-like appearance can be achieved by combining H-alpha, OIII-CCD and SII-CCD, such as the famous "Pillars of Creation" (Eagle Nebula M16)
  • The narrow-band filter does not remove the effects of light pollution or increase the brightness of the object. In most cases, it increases the contrast between the nebula and the night sky, without illuminating the nebula.

Technical data

  • 80% transmission in the main line OIII of 500 nm
  • Infrared cut-off wavelength: 700-1100nm
  • Transmission: 0.1% out-of-band, specifically the main artificial light pollution emission lines (i.e. Na 589 nm, Hg 435 nm and 578 nm). The 0.1% transmission is equivalent to OD3 (optical density), and a high optical density value indicates very low transmission, and a low optical density indicates high transmission.

Substrate and coating characteristics

  • Substrate material: Schott
  • Thickness: 2.0mm
  • Surface quality: 60/40 (see MIL-O-13830)
  • Optically polished to ensure 1/4 wavefront precision (surface irregularities are
  • Non-cementitious optical substrate coating
  • Outermost coating with ion-assisted electron beam evaporation deposition technology provides increased durability and scratch resistance, as well as CWL (center wavelength) stability unaffected by temperature changes.
  • The planetary rotation system offers precision and homogeneity of coatings, ensuring high values in through-band transmission and out-of-band optical density
  • Size: 36 mm Ø
