    In addition to the turbulence in the air, the brightening of the night sky is the greatest obstacle to observing faint objects beyond the solar system. Street lights and other artificial lighting mean that the sky in human settlements is no longer properly black. As a result, the contrast and thus the perception of the deep-sky objects also suffer. Depending on the type of celestial object, however, part of the interfering light can be filtered out, making it easier to observe the objects.

    The Explore Scientific O-III filter uses the property of the so-called emission mist. These objects glow in certain colors, the so-called emission lines. The emission lines are linked to certain chemical elements - in this case, oxygen. The Explore Scientific O-III nebula filter blocks all other colors (and thus almost all artificial light) and only allows the two emission lines of oxygen by. The effect is amazing: Suddenly, fog becomes visible in places that appear completely empty without a filter. In a slightly brightened sky, for example, the Cirrus Nebula NGC 6992 is practically invisible with a 200 mm telescope. When using this filter, you can see the fog and its structures without any problems. A must for every amateur visual astronomer and also for astrophotography.

    The Explore Scientific mist filters are supplied with an individual test report, so you can be sure that you are receiving high-quality filters.

    The narrow pass range of this filter of only 6.5 nm bandwidth works out the weakly glowing emission nebulae even under difficult city conditions or makes them visible in the first place.

    WE TAKE SCIENCE SERIOUSLY

    You deserve better than craft store science products. And we think learning is more impactful when you're holding a tangible piece of what you're learning about. That's why Stemcell exists.

    We're dedicated to providing the best scientific products available—whether they're fragments of scientific importance, experimental activities, or just interesting things that scratch your curiosity itch.

    With every new product launch, our list of new ideas gets longer rather than shorter. So check in often for our latest projects, and thanks for being a part of our endeavor to make the world a smarter place to live.

    Believe in yourself; for everything else, there's science.
