Baader Planetarium 2" 7.5nm Solar Continuum Filter

Over the years, the Baader 7.5nm Solar Continuum Filter has become an essential tool for both visual and photographic observations of the sun. This advanced filter functions as a narrow band photosphere filter, specifically designed for solar observation in white light. It delivers unparalleled contrast in the photosphere of the sun, enhancing your viewing and photography experience.The Baader Solar Continuum Filter operates as a monochromator, effectively suppressing the effects of atmospheric turbulence. This results in images that are significantly sharper and more detailed. The filter is optimized for the spectral range around 540nm, a range where our eyes have the highest sensitivity and where lens systems, including apochromats, catadiopters, or eyepieces, work most sharply and with the highest contrast. This narrowband filter blocks all other spectral ranges, reducing air turbulence and enhancing image sharpness, even on apochromatic telescopes, catadioptric systems, and pure mirror systems. As a monochromatic filter, it is ideally suited for use on monochromatic cameras, providing a substantial gain on pure color systems. While it is less effective with color cameras, as only the green pixels are utilized, the filter still significantly improves image sharpness and reduces the effects of air turbulence. However, with a color camera, the full potential of the filter's enhanced image quality cannot be fully exploited due to the reduced camera res
