Astromania 1.25" UHC (Ultra High Contrast) Filter - Superb Views of The Orion, Lagoon, Swan and Other Extended Nebulae

This is, so far, my favorite purchase for my new telescope. I can see the Orion nebula now (which I could not see in my light polluted sky) previously. It is very faint, but I can see it now! One of my unexpected favorites to look at with this new filter is Betelgeuse because I can see it and its color so much better now. The filter came with a very nice, sturdy, case as well.

Really brought the nebula into view

Viewing through a 6' dob, live in a Bortle10 area, and waited for the moon to "set" at 3:30am. Viewing in Sagittarius,viewing due South, 10 miles North of Charlotte. Went straight to Lagoon Nebula. Ive tried a general LPC (light pollution filter) in the past which helps. However with the LPC, I was only able to make out half of it. With the UHC, I was able to see both halves, and the dark lane through the middle. Had a similar experience with the Swan/Omega nebula. In the past could only make out the "body" of the Swan. Last night I was able to view the "head" as well as wisps of clouds, off the tail. I have never been able to make out the Trifid or Eagle Nebula until last night. Both were very faint and could make out very little detail. I have no comparison to other UHC filters. However if you are on a budget like myself and cant spend $100 on a filter, I feel like you will enjoy this filter. Very pleased with the purchase and details I was able to see.

Purchased this lens to use in my telescope. Haven't gotten to use it just yet but was professionally packaged and was delivered in record time

I bought this to use with my 10-in Dobsonian telescope. While looking for the E. Veil Nebula I was literally unable to see it until I added this filter to the eyepiece. Once I did that I was able to see the structure in fairly good detail. I look forward to using it for other nebulae. Well worth the low price.
