Alpine Astronomical FCFDB-2 Reviews

Extremely High Quality Filter

By Michael
Rated 5 out of 5

There is no better narrowband green filter for astronomical observations and photography. I have been observing since 1974 and this filter has turned my achromatic refractor into an apochromat. Viewing on the Moon cannot be sharper eliminating chromatic aberration by using one wavelength of color and then converting to black and white monochrome. Baader's reputation exceeds itself.

All filters in this set are made to fit larger 2" eyepieces. If your eyepiece has a thread for 2 inch filters, it will.
