This specialized filter allows high throughput of light wavelengths in emission nebulae while blocking other wavelengths that could diminish image quality and detail.
The result is bright, colorful nebulae images that 'pop' with detail against the black sky background. Emission nebulae primarily emit at discrete wavelengths of light—Hα at 656nm, Hβ at 486nm, and OIII at 496/501nm. By strategically transmitting only these wavelengths of light and blocking the rest of the spectrum, the filter dramatically reduces the effect of light pollution.
The 'bad' light is blocked while the 'good' light associated with emission nebulae passes through to Origin's sensor. You'll notice much higher contrast in your images, especially from your light-polluted backyard. And since the transmission at the critical wavelengths is optimized, you can capture more detail in your images.
