Baader Green 500 nm Bandpass Eyepiece Filter - 1.25"

Freedom from Ghost images, even when stacked. Striae-free substrates are polished parallel to 30 seconds to prevent wedge errors. Both faces feature the finest 7-layer hard multi-coatings with 0.25% residual reflections. No other colored filter on the market incorporates anti-reflection multi-coatings. Furthermore, these coatings vary depending on the filter in order to couple the coating performance with the filter curve of each color. This maximizes transmission while minimizing reflections.

Extremely High Transmissions provide maximum contrast to bring out planetary details, even when smaller telescopes are used. The three Baader longpass filters (Red, Orange, and Yellow) have peak efficiencies of 98%, while the three Baader bandpass filters (Green, Blue, and Dark Blue) top out at 70%.

Carefully designed spectral characteristics. Filters may be stacked without image degradation or ghosting, in order to provide even narrower passbands. Or, combine with any of the other Baader filters for interesting possibilities.

No reduction in sharpness, even at high magnifications or when using the filter far ahead of the focal plane (ie, digital imaging, or in front of a diagonal or binoviewer).

Scarlett P. ★★★★★

I was pleasantly surprised how much detail popped out in the lunar craters with this 500 nm bandpass filter—the contrast is noticeably sharper. The parallel-polished substrates must be doing their job, because I didn't see any annoying wedge errors even at high magnification.

William H. ★★★★★

The ghost image suppression is truly impressive even when I stack it with my O-III filter. Having the surfaces polished to 30 seconds precision really makes for a clean, sharp view of Jupiter's cloud bands.

Christopher ★★★★★

I've been using this 500 nm bandpass filter for lunar observing, and the contrast improvement on the terminator is really noticeable. The freedom from ghost images even when stacking with an O-III is a nice bonus.
