Features

  • Many objects only first become visible at all when using an UHC filter; but also; highlights such as the Orion; Lagoon or Swan nebulae; show a whole new side to them
  • Can be used at both light-polluted and dark sky sites; blocks the light from mercury and sodium-vapour lamps
  • 2 inch filter thread; each Astromania Ultra High Contrast Filter is individually inspected and proudly inscribed with the percentage of light transmittance of the O-III and H-beta emission lines
  • As many celestial objects; such as nebulae; radiate at other wavelengths; a considerable increase in contrast can be achieved by this; the background sky appears darker and all at once; faint details become visible

    • Budget Friendly Filter that Works Well Budget Friendly Filter that Works Well
Size: 2 Inch
Review Image by Ken
I ordered this to cut down on light pollution and enhance the nebula I can view in the fall and winter months. I use it on my Seestar S30 with an adapter for 2in filters. This worked extremely well. Attached is a picture of the Jellyfish Nebula taken over several nights with the filter. Before using the filter the nebula was hardly visible because of light pollution. I think the filter did an excellent job of bringing out the Oxygen-III and Hydrogen-Beta emissions while blocking light pollution. The filter is affordable. It screws easily into the 2 inch adapter. I recommend this filter. ... show more

    • Great value!
Size: 1.25 Inch
I bought this to use with my 10-in Dobsonian telescope. While looking for the E. Veil Nebula I was literally unable to see it until I added this filter to the eyepiece. Once I did that I was able to see the structure in fairly good detail. I look forward to using it for other nebulae. Well worth the low price. ... show more

    • Blown away by the added detail
Size: 1.25 Inch
Viewing through a 6' dob, live in a Bortle10 area, and waited for the moon to "set" at 3:30am. Viewing in Sagittarius,viewing due South, 10 miles North of Charlotte. Went straight to Lagoon Nebula. Ive tried a general LPC (light pollution filter) in the past which helps. However with the LPC, I was only able to make out half of it. With the UHC, I was able to see both halves, and the dark lane through the middle. Had a similar experience with the Swan/Omega nebula. In the past could only make out the "body" of the Swan. Last night I was able to view the "head" as well as wisps of clouds, off the tail. I have never been able to make out the Trifid or Eagle Nebula until last night. Both were very faint and could make out very little detail. I have no comparison to other UHC filters. However if you are on a budget like myself and cant spend $100 on a filter, I feel like you will enjoy this filter. Very pleased with the purchase and details I was able to see. ... show more

    • Dust Clouds More Visible
Size: 2 Inch
This definitely enhances dust clouds. I used it with a 2" 18mm orthoscopic eyepiece last night with my 17.5" Dobsonian on the Orion Nebula. The clouds are definitely brighter and more obvious with it than without it. Other reviews have complained about overall light loss. Yes, there is some reduction in overall brightness but with a 17.5" scope, it is not dramatic. I have not used it on other nebulae yet (recovering from appendectomy) but I have high hopes. ... show more

    • Great Filter for Viewing from City
Size: 1.25 Inch
This is, so far, my favorite purchase for my new telescope. I can see the Orion nebula now (which I could not see in my light polluted sky) previously. It is very faint, but I can see it now! One of my unexpected favorites to look at with this new filter is Betelgeuse because I can see it and its color so much better now. The filter came with a very nice, sturdy, case as well. ... show more

    • Good Budget Filter for Bright Nebula
Size: 1.25 Inch
If you have realistic expectations this a great budget filter to try out before going on to others, best on bright nebula and dark sites. Made a noticeable contrast difference on Saturn Nebula and gave hints of nebulosity of Lagoon Nebula under heavy urban light pollution but dims light as do all filters. Would buy again. ... show more
