Baader Planetarium 495 nm Bandpass Yellow Eyepiece Filter - 1.25"

Freedom from Ghost images, even when stacked. To avoid wedge errors, striae-free substrates are polished parallel to 30 seconds. First-class 7-layer hard multi-coatings on each face have 0.25% residual reflections. Baader filters are unique in this way as no other colored filter includes anti-reflection multicoatings. In addition, these coatings differ depending on the filter so that the coating performance matches the filter curve of each color. This increases transmission while decreasing 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).

Joshua S. ★★★★★

Stuck this filter on my telescope for planetary viewing last night, and the contrast on Jupiter’s bands was noticeably better. The polished substrates really do cut down on any internal reflections I’ve seen with cheaper filters.

Harper U. ★★★★★

I was worried about ghosting when stacking filters, but these are polished parallel to 30 seconds and it’s perfectly clean. Pairs great with my other 1.25" eyepieces.

Zoe H. ★★★★★

I was skeptical about how much difference a filter could make, but the 495 nm bandpass really brings out contrast on Jupiter's cloud bands without adding ghosting. The parallel-polished substrates must be doing their job—no wedge errors even when I stacked it with my moon filter.
