Significant increase in contrast and increase of reddish details for example of Mars and Jupiter

Best filter for the Great Red Spot on Jupiter

No annoying coloration of the image like in normal color filters

Suppression of street lights for general increase of contrast - skyglow filter

Fine-optically polished and multi-coated, thus can be used in front of binoviewers or for photography

Baader 1.25" Neodymium Moon, Planet and Skyglow Filter

This filter is one of the best planetary filters we know. In the solar system, the filter offers a significant increase in contrast especially on Mars, Moon and Jupiter, but the filter is clearly more versatile. For example, it increases also the contrast of many deep-sky objects like planetary nebulae and diffuse nebulae. The filter can be used photographically without any restrictions.

Special features of the Baader Skyglow Neodymium filter:

Selective blocking dampens overexposure, but without suppressing important color and brightness differences

The transmission in the selected spectral ranges is more then 95%

Fits into all standard filter threads; can be combined for example with the fine-optically polished (!) Baader color filters for planetary observing. Thus details can be enhanced specifically or detailed planetary color images can be made with monochrome planetary cameras.

If used with digital cameras, stars and planets are shown significantly sharper, as the IR range is blocked

Fine-optically polished; can be used as single filter in front of a binoviewer or for afocal projection with digital cameras (far before the focus!) without any loss of sharpness

No incline in sharpness with magnifications above 200x as with "raw-polished" (flame-treated) glass plates

Substrate (glass): Neodymium doped color glass

Coating: 7-layer hard-multicoating / 27-layer dielectric UV/IR blocking coating

Ultra-hard and durable Ion-beam hardened coatings – may be cleaned anytime without fear

Connection thread:	1.25" M28 filter thread
Filter thickness:	1 mm
Filter cell:	Metal
