The 1.25" Orion UltraBlock Narrowband Telescope Filter is the filter for deep-sky observers located at highly light-polluted sites. Blocks all forms of light pollution — mercury vapor and sodium emission bands — while passing the critical hydrogen-beta and ionized oxygen wavelengths. With an UltraBlock telescope filter, emission and planetary nebulas "surface" from the washed out background sky. In dark skies, the UltraBlock also enhances the sky presence of a significant number of fainter deep-sky celestial objects over unfiltered and wideband-filtered views.

Wow! I finally got around to trying out
this filter last night, and I could not be
more pleased. Without it the Dumbell
was barely visible, but with the filter is
was bright and defined. Ring Nebula
looked brighter than I've ever seen it. I
was easily able to see the Swan and
Lagoon low in the horizon over the urban
skyglow. This will really add a new
dimension to my observing sessions.

I observe from a suburban location 19
miles north of Philadelphia. The light
pollution is nothing short of staggering.
Despite this, as an enthusiastic backyard
astronomer, I built a dedicated
observatory to permanently house my
trusty 10" Meade LX50. I spent 5 hours
under the stars on an unusually clear
evening on August 30. I used my tried
and true O III and deep sky filters with
some success but in frustration, decided
to use your ultrablock light pollution
filter
which I had purchased about a year
ago. The results were amazing. Your ad
reads "you will see stuff you never
thought you'd see" or something to that
effect.
It's an incredible understatement. Of all
the targets I observed, I was unable to
see the Veil and California Nebulae.
Everything else was clearly visible. After
the first three objects, I started calling
your filter "Saint Glowbuster." It only
takes three miracles to declare someone
a saint. This is a great product. Thanks
for giving me back the night sky.
Everyone who owns a telescope should
own one of these things.
