## Overview

The Astromania 2" UHC Filter is designed to enhance your astronomical observations by increasing contrast, making it easier to view nebulae like Orion, Lagoon, and Swan. Suitable for both light-polluted and dark sky sites, this filter effectively blocks unwanted light while allowing for a clearer view of celestial details. Each filter is individually inspected and features a 2" thread for compatibility with smaller telescopes.

## Description

Astromania 2" UHC (Ultra High Contrast) Filter - Superb Views of The Orion, Lagoon, Swan and Other Extended Nebulae

## Features

- Nebula filter for increasing contrast, also suitable for use with smaller telescopes.
- Many objects only first become visible at all when using an UHC filter. But also, highlights such as the Orion, Lagoon or Swan nebulae, show a whole new side to them.
- Can be used at both light-polluted and dark sky sites. Blocks the light from mercury and sodium-vapour lamps.
- 2" filter thread, each Astromania Ultra High Contrast Filter is individually inspected and proudly inscribed with the percentage of light transmittance of the O-III and H-beta emission lines.
- As many celestial objects, such as nebulae, radiate at other wavelengths, a considerable increase in contrast can be achieved by this. The background sky appears darker and all at once, faint details become visible.

    Poor coatings
  

*by J***. on Reviewed in the United States 🇺🇸 on February 20, 2023*

If you want poor purple objects and out of focus this is your filter. The glass used is distorted and the coating makes all objects a haze looking purple. I wish I could have retuned it but it is too late. Shame I never had clear skies in the return window to test it out. Now that I have I can safely say they have poor QC.Seems some people get good ones and others( such as myself ) get really poor ones. Stay away or take your chances.

    So much contrast, so little color...
  

*by F***S on Reviewed in the United States 🇺🇸 on August 7, 2020*

I only used this filter to photograph the Veil Nebula, which is very difficult even to find in the sky. With this filter, is much easier, as the photo of a single exposure can show.However it completely kills the color! It casts a very green color which is fine to correct on any photo software after stacking. But the color will be gone forever.-------Edit 2022-02-06: As some had already said, this is filter that only passes Hb and Oiii. Still useful for some targets, but is far from a broadband filter.

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ 







  
  
    Good value for UHC
  

*by R***S on Reviewed in the United States 🇺🇸 on December 9, 2019*

I am using this on a Step Down ring to take pictures of Milky Way and nebula with a DSLR.  The UHC filter introduces about 3 stops, though that will vary depending on the target.  It definitely darkens the sky and removes ambient light.  The filter seems to be well made with uniform coatings.  I have no way of evaluating it in a more qualitative manner but it seems a good value and I'm happy with the purchase.As an aside, I do get a bit of vignetting at 12mm on a 12mm-50mm f/3.5-6.3 kit zoom, filter diameter 52mm, but that goes away at 15mm and isn't really a problem as it only darkens the corners a bit.  If it were a faster lens, I'd need to go with "full size" filters but this suits my current setup just fine.
