Explore Scientific 1.25" OIII Nebula Filter

The 1.25" OIII Filter by Explore Scientific is a line filter, allowing only the two emission lines of oxygen to pass through. This filter is a fantastic choice for exploring supernova remnants and other nebulae that glow in OIII. When used on objects that glow in all parts of the visible spectrum, such as galaxies, this filter dims all emissions except for oxygen. In other words, some areas will suffer from the addition of an OIII filter, while other areas that may normally be difficult to see will become visible when viewed through the OIII filter.

The Explore Scientific 1.25" OIII Filter has a transmission of 96.7% from 483nm to 511nm. Peak transmission is 496nm. This filter is mounted in a 1.25" metal cell and fits all standard 1.25" eyepieces and filter wheels.

Zoe J. ★★★★★

Was tired of wasting time framing targets that weren't really there, and this filter cuts through the sky glow like a scalpel. The two oxygen lines it passes are incredibly sharp, making the Veil Nebula pop out vividly against a black background. Just a solid piece of glass that does exactly what it

Hannah X. ★★★★★

Swapped in the OIII filter on a moonless night and the Veil Nebula popped out clearly through my 4-inch refractor. It blocks everything but those two oxygen lines, so the background sky goes nearly black and the detail is incredible.

Alexander ★★★★★

I paired this filter with my 8-inch Dobsonian, and the Veil Nebula went from a faint smudge to a detailed, twisted structure. It’s amazing how it isolates just those two oxygen wavelengths for such a crisp view.
