Description: Meade Oxygen III (OIII) nebular filters provide an extraordinary level of nebular filtration on diffuse and planetary nebulae. Observations of these nebulae in a city environment with the OIII filter often yield more image contrast than observations of the same objects in a dark-sky setting without the filter. The OIII filter extracts more than 80% of the light emanating from the two Oxygen III spectral lines at 496 and 501nm. Objects such as the Omega (Swan) Nebula (M17) in Sagittarius, the Orion Nebula (M42) in Orion, the Helix Nebula (NGC 7293) in Aquarius, and the Eagle Nebula (M16) in Serpens are revealed in dramatically increased detail. Meade 60-layer interference coating technology isolates the desirable OIII lines, while attenuating other spectral lines virtually to zero. As with Meade Narrowband Filters, the OIII filters are complements to other Meade nebular filters; the effectiveness of each filter type is highly dependent on the physical characteristics of the particular nebula being observed.

Now In Stock: iOptron SmartStar Computerized Alt-Az Mount as Reviewed by Gary Seronik in February 2007 Sky & Tel Magazine($266)

This compact mount design is probably the most functional and flexible unit on the market. Both axis motors are built into a small single unit which is universally compatible with all telescopes using a dove-tail connection. In addition, there are no dead spots, so you can point your telescope to ANYWHERE above the horizon, whereas, other mounts block the telescope tube at certain points of rotation.
