IDAS Night Glow & LPS Filters improve the contrast of astronomical emission nebulae against skies affected by both artificial and natural sky glow, while maintaining accurate color balance for broadband objects such as galaxies. Like other IDAS interference filters, the bandpass design accommodates the steep light angles produced by fast optical systems.

This narrowband line filter is designed for astrophotography, specifically to enhance the visibility of emission nebulae by isolating key oxygen emission lines. By suppressing unwanted background light, it increases contrast and reveals fine structural details in nebulae. The filter is optimized for imaging rather than visual observing and is best suited for deep-sky photography under light-polluted or dark-sky conditions.

This H-alpha filter transmits light at a wavelength of 656 nm, making it an excellent choice for narrowband astrophotography. It delivers high-contrast images and reveals fine nebular details, even when imaging from locations affected by strong light pollution.

The SII narrowband filter is designed for nebula astrophotography and transmits light centered at a wavelength of 672 nm. With a narrow bandpass, it enhances contrast and isolates sulfur emission, making it well suited for imaging emission nebulae, planetary nebulae, and supernova remnants. For astrophotographers seeking the classic Hubble Space Telescope–style appearance, such as the iconic “Pillars of Creation” in the Eagle Nebula (Messier 16), the SII filter is a natural addition after H-alpha and OIII filters. Like H-alpha, SII operates in the deep red region of the spectrum near 672 nm.

Vespera II represents the next step in the evolution of its predecessor. It combines a telescope and a camera into one intelligent, fully automated observation station. Designed for ease of use, it makes exploring the night sky accessible to everyone. Users can observe celestial objects, capture their own astrophotography, learn about space, and share discoveries through a single integrated system. If you have ever wanted to photograph the stars, Vespera II allows you to do so at the touch of a button.

The LS100MT is a complete solar telescope designed for observing the Sun in H-alpha light. It features a 100 mm clear aperture with no central obstruction and a focal length of 714 mm. Observing the Sun at the H-alpha wavelength reveals striking details such as prominences along the solar limb, filaments, flares, and dynamic surface activity. An internal etalon filter with an advanced air pressure tuning system achieves a bandwidth of less than 0.7 angstrom, delivering high-contrast solar views.

The Omegon Pro APO AP 71/490 Quadruplet is designed for astrophotographers who want sharper images, accurate colours and a flat, fully illuminated field. Its advanced optical design allows you to capture the night sky with greater detail and contrast, revealing structures and tones that simpler optics often fail to show. This 71 mm apochromatic refractor uses a quadruplet lens system with premium ED glass to achieve excellent colour correction and image sharpness. 

The Omegon Pro APO DoubleED AP 40/180 Sixtuplet is designed for astrophotographers who want compact size without sacrificing image quality. It allows you to capture the night sky with accurate colours, strong contrast and a flat, well-corrected field, revealing structures that simpler optics often fail to show. This 40 mm apochromatic refractor features a sophisticated six-lens (sixtuplet) design. Two elements are made from high-quality ED glass, ensuring excellent colour correction even at its fast focal ratio of f/4.5. 

The Omegon Pro RC 355/2845 is a professional-grade Ritchey-Chrétien reflector designed for advanced astrophotography and observatory use. It combines a large 355 mm aperture with a compact truss-tube structure and precision hyperbolic optics, delivering sharp, coma-free stars across a wide and fully illuminated field. This system features hyperbolic primary and secondary mirrors, eliminating the need for corrector lenses and significantly reducing optical aberrations. The result is a flat, well-corrected field ideal for large CCD cameras, with approximately 60 mm of illumination suitable for modern imaging sensors.

Artificial lighting from cities and towns brightens the night sky and reduces contrast, making faint celestial objects harder to observe. While streetlights improve visibility on the ground, they create skyglow that obscures delicate deep-sky structures. Emission nebulae differ from star clusters, galaxies and reflection nebulae because they radiate light at very specific wavelengths. Instead of producing a broad spectrum, they emit distinct spectral lines.

Artificial lighting in urban and suburban areas brightens the night sky and reduces contrast, making faint deep-sky objects more difficult to observe. Skyglow caused by streetlights and industrial lighting often overwhelms delicate nebular structures. Unlike galaxies, globular clusters or reflection nebulae, emission nebulae radiate light at specific wavelengths. Because the human eye has limited sensitivity in the red spectrum, only the O-III and H-Beta lines are easily visible visually. Cameras, however, can record all these wavelengths, including the deeper red emissions.

Artificial lighting in urban and suburban areas brightens the night sky and reduces contrast, causing faint celestial objects to fade into the background. While streetlights improve visibility on the ground, they create skyglow that makes observing delicate nebular structures more challenging. Emission nebulae differ from galaxies, globular clusters and reflection nebulae because they emit light at specific wavelengths rather than across a broad spectrum.

Artificial lighting in populated areas brightens the night sky and reduces contrast, making faint deep-sky objects difficult to detect. Skyglow from streetlights and other sources often masks delicate nebular structures. Emission nebulae differ from galaxies, globular clusters and reflection nebulae because they emit light at very specific wavelengths. While the human eye is primarily sensitive to the O-III and H-Beta lines, cameras can record all of these wavelengths, including the deep red emissions of hydrogen and ionised sulphur.

The Omegon Pro Electronic Filter Wheel (EFW-L) is designed to streamline astrophotography by enabling fast and precise filter changes. Suitable for both amateur astronomers and experienced imaging enthusiasts, this motorized filter wheel enhances efficiency while keeping the optical path compact and stable. The filter wheel is equipped with M54 female threads on both the front and rear, making it compatible with telescopes that use larger focusers. Included adapters provide M48 and T2 connections, offering flexible integration into various imaging setups.
