Meade Series 4000 Photo-Visual Color Filter #47 Violet

7516 - #47 Violet (3% transmission): Strongly rejects red, yellow, and green wavelengths; useful for the study of Martian polar cap regions and for the observation of occasional phenomena in the upper atmosphere of Venus. Enhances contrast between the rings of Saturn. Use only on telescopes of 8" aperture and larger.

$14.95

Meade Series 4000 Photo-Visual Color Filter #25A Red

7515 - #25A Red (14% transmission): strongly blocks the transmission of blue and blue-green wavelengths, resulting in very sharply defined contrast between blue tinted cloud formations on Jupiter and the lighter-toned features of the disk. Also useful for the delineation of the Martian polar ice caps and maria. Because of its relatively low total light transmission the #25A filter should be used on telescopes of 8" or larger.

$14.95

Meade Series 4000 Photo-Visual Color Filter #38A Dark Blue

7519 - #38A Dark Blue (17% transmission): Is a popular filter for the study of Jupiter's disk, owing to the filter's strong rejection of orange and red wavelengths. It increases contrast between the reddish belt structures and enhances detail of the Red Spot. Also useful for the study of isolated phenomena, such as dust storms, on Mars, as well as the belt structure of Saturn. Increases contrast of subtle cloud markings on Venus.

$14.95

Meade Series 4000 Photo-Visual Color Filter #21 Orange

7510 - #21 Orange (46% transmission): Reduces or blocks transmission of blue-green wavelengths. Use on Jupiter and Saturn to enhance detail in the belts and polar regions.

$89.00

Meade #908X O-III Nebula Filter 1.25"

07541 - For observation of diffuse emission and planetary nebulae the Meade #908X Oxygen-III (O-III) nebular filter is the clear choice. It provides an extraordinary level of nebular filtration. In fact, with one of these filters, you can often see more of a nebula in a light-polluted, city environment than you can in a dark-sky setting without the filter.
