Featuring a 50nm broadband filter, it fits standard 1.25" eyepieces and delivers sharp, clear views even in heavily light-polluted urban environments. Praised for its exceptional performance comparable to premium brands at a fraction of the cost, this durable filter is a must-have for amateur astronomers and astrophotographers aiming to elevate their celestial observations. ## Description Product description UHC Telescope Filter Improves Image Contrast of Nebula and Deep Sky Objects If you're not sure if a light pollution filter will benefit you or not (and it probably will), this SVBONY UHC Filter is a relatively inexpensive way to find out. Best of all, once you have it you'll probably feel no need to pick up a pricier one since this one will likely meet all of your needs. See Some Small Planetary Nebula Detail Basically, it works by darkening the background so you can see more nebulosity that would otherwise be too faint. This filter allows one to really see small planetary nebulae that would otherwise be washed out by the background, such as the M42 Nebula, the Dumbbell Nebula, and the Lagoon Nebula. The nebula is the dot that doesn't get dimmer when you thread in UHC filter. It helps with finding the little planetary nebulae because it dims everything but the nebula, i.e. you can look at the same spot with and without the filter, and with the filter in place the stars are dimmed somewhat but the nebula isn't. It works well at both low and high powers. light pollution reduction filter Selectively reduce the transmission of certain wavelengths of light Easy to carry Comes in a beautiful clamshell snap-on plastic case with foam inserts Works great and increases the contrast The sky is much darker than without it. Excelent Light Pollution Filter. However, it does cause a halo. If you turn down the exposure it does fade or fade enough to be noticeable. If no light difference The reason may be that the spectrum of the light source and the spectrum of the light filter have overlapping conflicts; The reason may be that the spectrum of the light source and the spectrum of the light filter have overlapping conflicts; You can change the environment to test if there is any change (Better on 8-inch telescopes) Main points UHC Filter Combination Scheme SV503 Observation Kit SV305C Pro Camera SV503 70Telescope SV550 APO Telescope SV503 102ED Telescope Color Correction Filter SV705C Telescope Camera Review: Pleasantly surprised for visual observations, excellent budget performer - This broadband (50nm) UHC works well and has allowed me to view nebula (other than M42 / Orion Nebula) for the very first time from my light polluted backyard. I never thought I would be able to detect nebula from my backyard, where I do most of my visual observing using 8" and 10" F5 dobs. I'm in a red/white light pollution zone which is considered "Bortle 8" aka "can't see ****, captain". This filter hits well above its weight and is comparable to a more expensive Optolong UHC filter. Even with most of my city using LED street lights, whose light pollution is harder to filter out, this filter performed exceptionally and allowed me to detect nebulosity in Scorpius last night. The nebulosity was faint, but it was absolutely there. I didn't need to use averted vision or any other aids to detect it. With visual observing, you can't expect bright Hubble views albeit I suspect this filter would work exceptionally well for astrophotographers, who will be able to achieve great results with this filter + long exposures. The fact that I could visually detect any nebula at all that wasn't M42 in Orion makes this worth the measly $20 paid. Members of a popular astronomy forum have sent the SVbony UHC filters out to Lumicon- one of the top optics and filter labs- and it revealed that this filter is virtually identical in performance to Optolong UHC filter and may even be the same thing. The Optolong is well regarded and sells for $80; a $20 SVbony performing the same as a filter that is 4X as expensive is a great deal. The price and the performance of this makes it a must have filter if you don't have one. I'm not a fan of filters as I find the price:performance underwhelming for visual observing, but this filter hits all the right notes. I will likely buy SVbony's 2" version of this filter, I like its performance enough that I want it available for my 2" wide field EPs. I wish SVbony made an OIII; I'd buy it in a heartbeat if it performed as well as this UHC. Review: Lens - Good lens ## Features - UHC filters or light pollution reduction filters are designed to selectively reduce the transmission of certain wavelengths of light;especially those produced by artificial light - Sky background is darker;and contrast of emission nebulae are noticeably improved;the perfect filter for viewing nebula from light polluted skies;or for boosting the contrast of nebula from dark sky sites - Due to its ability to produce exceptionally sharp and clear images;this UHC filter is considered one of the most popular astronomy accessories;it can be used not only for celestial observations but also for astrophotography - 1.25'' barrel diameter simply attach to eyepiece cased in a sturdy transparent case;standard filter thread for 1.25" eyepieces and other accessories - Optical glass lens;aluminum frame;significantly reduces light pollution;great for city and suburban observation ## Technical Specifications | Specification | Value | |---------------|-------| | ASIN | B06XKRSH6X | | Best Sellers Rank | #4 in Telescope Filters | | Brand | SVBONY | | Built-In Media | 1 X SVBONY UHC FILTER | | Coating Description | Multi Coating | | Color | BLACK | | Compatible Devices | Telescopes | | Customer Reviews | 4.6 out of 5 stars 597 Reviews | | Enclosure Material | Aluminum | | Item Dimensions L x W | 3.15"L x 3.15"W | | Item Weight | 40 Grams | | Manufacturer | SVBONY | | Manufacturer Part Number | FUSF9131A | | Material | Aluminum | | Media Type | ProductImage | | Model Number | FUSF9131A | | Number of Pieces | 1 | | Photo Filter Effect Type | Enhancing | | Photo Filter Factor | 31.75 x | | Photo Filter Size | 31.75 Millimeters | | Photo Filter Thread Size | 31.75 Millimeters | | Screen Size | 1.25 Inches | | Special Effect | Enhancing | | Thread Size | 31.75 Millimeters | | UPC | 714559977538 609378744273 | | Viewfinder Type | optical viewfinder | | Warranty Description | We provide 1 year warranty for SVBONY telescope accessories and 30 days no reason to return.
