What is a broadband filter?

What is a filter (sometimes called a microfilter or splitter)? A filter allows both your broadband and phone to work on the same telephone line. Without one you’re more likely to get slower broadband speeds. You’ll probably also experience noise interference when using the phone..

Which filter is best for galaxies?

What filters for Orion nebula?

Our Orion Hydrgon-Beta filters help backyard astronomers to see faint and elusive nebulas such as the Horsehead, California, and Cocoon Nebulas. These filters block everything but the hydrogen-beta light that these and some other faint nebulas emit, providing the contrast needed to observe them through a telescope.

This boosts the contrast, making celestial objects easier to spot. Some amateurs believe these filters dim the view so much that they can’t use them with small telescopes.
