Meade Pictor 616 Color Filter System Deals |
Improve the resolution and contrast of planetary and lunar images with this set of four color filters that enhance surface details and highlight even the subtlest planetary features. Using the correct filter, for example, can mean the difference between seeing and not seeing small craterlets on the Moon or seeing six festoons on Jupiter versus two. Includes:#8 Light Yellow Filter – 83% light transmission: A popular filter for the enhancement of lunar features#21 Orange Filter – 46% light transmission: Sharpens boundaries between the yellow-orange areas and blue-green regions on Mars#38A Dark Blue Filter – 17% light transmission: Strongly rejects orange and red wavelengths, making it great for the study of Jupiter's disc#56 Light Green Filter – 53% light transmission: Enhances detail of yellow-tinted dust storms on Martian surface Meade Series 4000 Filters measure 26mm in clear aperture and are manufactured from the purest crown optical glass, dyed-in-the-mass (not "color coated"). Each filter is anti-reflection coated on both sides and is mounted in a machined aluminum cell with the written number of the filter marked on the side of the cell. Filters may be piggybacked – or stacked – to achieve selective filtration of the visual color spectrum. For visual applications, Series 4000 Filters thread into the barrels of all Meade 1.25" eyepieces. Each filter is packed in a foam-fitted plastic case for secure long-term storage.

These Meade optical glass color filters put observations of the Moon and planets into a whole new light, boosting image contrast and resolution while reducing glare of the full or near-full moon. The #3200 Color Filter Set includes the all-important red, yellow, blue and neutral density filters for improving performance during common observations. Each filter threads into the barrels of all Meade MA, PL and WA 1.25" eyepieces and comes packed in a separate plastic case for secure short and long term storage.

The most valuable tool a lunar observer can own, this neutral density filter transmits light uniformly across the entire visual spectrum, allowing for glare-free observations of the Moon – and even impressive results when observing distant binary star systems.Features:13% light transmission0.9 densityReduces glare and irradiation in lunar observationAllows for the distinction and separation of close double stars, where one of the binary pair significantly exceeds the other in brightnessBest for telescopes of 4" aperture or largerFilters are essential tools of amateur and serious astronomers, allowing for the observation and photography of surface detail that is often invisible without filtration. By reducing irradiation caused by the motion of the Earth's atmosphere and improving color separation, a filter can – for example – mean the difference between seeing six festoons on Jupiter versus two.Meade Series 4000 Filters measure 26mm in clear aperture and are manufactured from the purest crown optical glass, dyed-in-the-mass (not "color coated"). Each filter is anti-reflection coated on both sides and is mounted in a machined aluminum cell with the written number of the filter marked on the side of the cell.

Because of the relatively small dimensions of the microchips used in CCD imaging systems, composing and centering the astronomical image can be challenging, particularly when observing faint diffuse objects.The Meade Plssl 25mm Framing Ocular helps facilitate this process. The Framing Ocular can be used in either of two ways: (a) by placing it in the telescope's eyepiece-holder, after which the Framing Ocular is replaced with the CCD camera; or (b) in conjunction with a flip-mirror device. The ocular displays in evenly-illuminated red LED light the rectangular frames of all popular CCD chip sizes, including all Meade Pictor Series CCD imagers, as well as the ST-5 through ST-8. A lockable spacer ring fixes eyepiece focus so that the eyepiece and the CCD imager can be made precisely parfocal.The Plossl 25mm Framing Ocular includes a 4-element coated optical system with 50 apparent field; foldable rubber eyecup; wireless illuminator with variable illumination control and internal batteries.

The #1A Skylight Filter threads onto the rear cells of all Meade Schmidt-Cassegrains and effectively seals the interior of the telescope from dust. This filter increases visual and photographic contrast, decreases glare and helps to penetrate haze. All other rear cell accessories may then be threaded to the #1A filter.

With Meade Oxygen-III (O-III) Nebular Filter, you can more easily observe diffuse emissions and planetary nebulae in urban areas. In fact, observations of these nebulae in a city environment with the O-III filter can yield more image contrast than observations of the same objects in a dark-sky setting without the filter.Recent advancements allow the O-III filter to extract more than 80% of the light emanating from the two oxygen-III spectral lines at 496 and 501 nm. You get dramatically greater detail when observing objects such as the Omega (Swan) Nebula (M17) in Sagittarius, the Orion Nebula (M42) in Orion, and the Helix Nebula (M16) in Serpens. The Nebular Filter benefits from a 60-layer interference coating technology which isolates the desirable O-III lines while attenuating the other spectral lines to nearly zero.Note: The O-III Filter complements, rather than replaces, other Meade nebular filters. For example, the Broadband Filter enhances the performance of a much wider range of nebular objects; the O-III Filter improves contrast and visible detail on fewer objects, but in these more limited cases it does so to the most dramatic level possible. The effectiveness of each filter depends on the physical characteristics of the specific nebula being observed.#908X: Threads into the barrels of all Meade 1.25" eyepieces and most other 1.25" brands. Clear aperture is 26mm.
