$99.99 - $129.99
Accepted Payment
  • Our Oxygen-III Nebula filter provides extremely selective filtration to bring out elusive detail in diffuse and planetary nebulas
  • Orion's O-III eyepiece filter transmits close to 90% of the light corresponding to the two oxygen-III spectral lines at 496nm and 501nm while completely blocking virtually all other wavelengths
  • The O-III Nebula filter provides enhanced views of diffuse and planetary nebulas such as the Veil, Swan, Ring, Dumbbell, Helix, and Eagle nebulas, to name a few
  • Recommended for visual use, not intended for astrophotography
  • Available in two sizes, 2" and 1.25" for use with either 2" or 1.25" telescope eyepieces and accessories

You can't turn up the luminosity on nebulas, but you can crank up the contrast between them and the night sky to reveal more of their wondrous detail. Our Oxygen-III filters provide extremely selective filtration to bring out elusive detail in diffuse and planetary nebulas. These filters do so by transmitting close to 90% of the light corresponding to the two oxygen-III spectral lines at 496nm and 501nm while completely blocking virtually all other visible wavelengths.

The results are remarkable. You'll see more detail than you ever could before in nebular gems such as the Swan, Ring, Dumbbell, Helix, and Eagle, to name a few. The O-III provides an even greater contrast boost on some objects than the UltraBlock narrowband filter. And for nebulas, every little bit helps! Try the O-III with a low-power 2" eyepiece and take in the whole Veil Nebula. Wow!

Due to the amount of light blockage, the O-III filter is recommended for telescopes of 8" aperture or greater, and for visual use only. It features the highest quality optical glass in a double-threaded, anodized aluminum cell.
