Steal This Deal Baader Ultraviolet Venus Filter - 2" Round Mounted Tool [Q4YDVh5M]

The Steal This Deal Baader Ultraviolet Venus Filter - 2" Round Mounted Tool [Q4YDVh5M] is a groundbreaking tool for amateur astronomers looking to explore the previously inaccessible spectral region of Venus. Designed by Baader Planetarium, this filter allows for the first-time recording of cloud structures on Venus, enabling a new level of study in the field of astronomy. With its cutting-edge technology, this filter opens up a world of possibilities for imaging in the deep UV spectrum.

Advanced Features and Specifications

The Baader Venus Filter boasts a transmission range from 300nm to 400nm, with a peak transmission of 80-percent, making it highly efficient in capturing the UV imagery. It completely blocks the rest of the UV spectrum from 200nm to 1500nm, ensuring that only the critical wavelengths for Venus imaging are passed through. This filter is designed with a complex 20-layer dielectric coating stack on a special UG-11 substrate, providing exceptional durability and resistance to environmental factors. The high optical quality and sharp image contrast are maintained through Baader's unique coating designs and substrate flatness, which is crucial for successful UV imaging.

Practical Applications and Benefits

This Baader Venus Filter is an essential tool for UV imagers, offering a wide range of applications beyond Venus imaging. It is particularly useful for recording solar Calcium K-Line flares, providing exciting opportunities for solar disk and edge imaging. The filter is compatible with DSLR cameras, webcams, and CCD cameras, making it versatile for various imaging setups. With the use of Baader's DSLR-2 filter adapter ring and appropriate filter step ring (HDT-Rings), users can easily mount the filter to their camera lens. The filter's durability, stackability, and special filter cell design further enhance its practicality and long-term usability. With Baader Planetarium's commitment to quality and affordability, this filter is a must-have for any serious astrophotographer or amateur astronomer.
