The Dual Band filter isolates key nebula emission lines at H-alpha (656.3nm) and O-III (500.7nm) within a tight 12nm bandwidth for maximum contrast on deep-sky targets. From the city, the CLS filter suppresses light pollution from sodium and mercury streetlights to reveal fainter details in galaxies and clusters. For daytime observation, the included white-light Solar Filter allows you to safely track and image sunspots across the Sun's photosphere.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"DAV-bg-light\"\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"DAV-section\"\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eDual Band Filter: 12nm H-alpha \u0026amp; O-III for Nebulae\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThis dual narrowband filter is your primary tool for capturing high-contrast images of emission, planetary, and dark nebulae. By passing only the light from Hydrogen-alpha (656.3nm) and Oxygen-III (500.7nm) in two 12nm bands, it darkens the sky background, from urban or natural environments.
