The 1.25" Baader OIII Filter is specially designed for the observing the night sky & offers high contrast views of gas & planetary nebulae that are emitting light from narrow OIII wavelengths. For many objects, the Baader O-III reveals a level of intricate detail that rivals the best deep sky photographs, the Baader O-III perfectly isolates the two doubly ionized oxygen lines (496 & 501nm), through a very sharp & narrow bandpass. Unlike other O-III filters, the Baader O-III completely blocks longer & shorter wavelengths, this is why some O-III filters appear red, instead of the correct 500 nm Teal colour. The result is the highest contrast achievable in an O-III filter. The Baader filters are designed to be stacked.
