The new Baader Solar Continuum filter is designed to enhance the visibility of solar granulation and sunspot details. By transmitting a specific spectral region around 540nm free of emission and absorption lines the Solar Continuum filter is able to boost contrast and reduce the effects of atmospheric turbulence. With the Solar Continuum filter in place … Continue reading

Baader Planetarium delivers the latest tool in the planetary imager’s bag of tricks. The Baader IR-Pass filter blocks wavelengths below 670 nm. At these longer wavelengths planetary images are less disturbed by wavefront distortions in the atmosphere (seeing). By combining a luminance image taken with the IR-Pass filter along with RGB frames overall image sharpness … Continue reading
