Baader Planetarium Fringe-Killer Filter, 2" Eyepiece

Are you seeking to elevate your astrophotography and observational experiences with a small refractor telescope Look no further than the Baader Planetarium FFK-2 Fringe-Killer Filter, a 2" eyepiece filter designed to enhance your view of the cosmos. This exceptional filter stands out as the brightest among color-correcting filters available in the market, ensuring that you capture the most vivid and true-to-life images.

The Baader Fringe-Killer Filter expertly minimizes undesirable blue fringing, often compared to the performance of a Minus-Violet-Filter, while maintaining an aesthetically pleasing color balance. This remarkable achievement in color correction is made possible through the use of advanced DWDM plasma-assisted coating technology. This cutting-edge process allows for the application of nearly a hundred ultra-thin coating layers on a planoptically polished substrate, preserving the optical figure and ensuring the highest quality of light transmission.

By utilizing this fine optical instrument, your small refractor can reach its full potential, achieving the magnification promised right out of the box. The filter's performance is on par with the most luxurious color correcting lens systems, which can cost up to 20 times more, making it an economical choice for serious astronomers and astrophotographers.

The intricate coatings that enable this innovative filtration are incredibly complex, involving almost 50 layers per side. These layers are meticulously applied using the latest in DWDM Plasma assisted coating processes, resulting in what may be the most sophisticated coating ever applied to an amateur astronomical filter.

The Fringe Killer is the ideal complement to the Baader Contrast Booster, an aggressive filter crafted to extract the maximum sharpness and contrast from an achromat. When paired, these filters effectively eliminate violet haze, producing a slightly dimmer and warmer image while enhancing color contrasts through additional RGB filtration.

Digital imagers, including those using CCD, digital cameras, and webcams, will discover that the Fringe Killer is the perfect match for their achromatic refractors. Its high light transmission and fringe reduction capabilities are superb for capturing both planetary detail and the depths of deep-sky objects.

In addition to its color-correcting prowess, the Fringe Killer includes Baader's renowned UV/IR Cut coatings. These coatings are integral to the filter's formula, offering sharp cutoffs in the infrared and ultraviolet spectrums while maintaining exceptionally high transmission rates. This ensures that your images are clear, sharp, and free from the distortions that can be caused by these unwanted wavelengths.

Enhance your celestial viewing and imaging with the Baader Planetarium FFK-2 Fringe-Killer Filter, a 2" eyepiece filter that promises to revolutionize the way you observe and capture the night sky.
