The OIII narrowband filter isolates just the two doubly-ionized oxygen lines (496 and 501nm lines) emitted by planetary and emission nebulae, while blocking the rest of the overall spectrum of light. The result is extreme contrast between the black sky background and the faint photons of OIII light needed for detailed views of the Veil, Ring, Dumbbell, Crescent and Orion nebulae, among other objects. Each filter has an ultra hard, vacuum-deposited coating carefully … More >>

Summer is here. The nights are shorter, the evenings are pleasant. Now if the mosquitoes and clouds will stay away we’ll be able to enjoy some of the great summertime objects. Globular clusters are some of my favorite objects to observe. Some are easy to view with binoculars or even naked eye at really dark location. Others are tough to find even with pin point tracking and expensive ccd cameras. They are among the oldest objects in our universe. The dark sky feature this week is Messier 4 and Messier 5 globular clusters. Both should be fairly easy to find with a small scope. Very late this week, seemed to take forever to finish for some reason.
