DayStar 130mm Energy Rejection Filter with 170mm Inside Diameter Cap - For Refractor - E-170N130
Discover the DayStar 130mm Energy Rejection Filter with an Inside Diameter Cap of 170mm, specifically designed for refractor telescopes.
These cutting-edge filters have been meticulously engineered to significantly reduce heat-induced stress on your filter assembly.
They accomplish this by effectively either absorbing or reflecting ultraviolet (UV) and/or infrared (IR) light, ensuring the seamless transmission of light within the desired visual spectrum.
The DayStar 130mm ERF is available in several variations, including options with Red or Yellow glass, or those employing high-quality dielectric IR and UV materials.
These filters guarantee precise filtration while permitting the passage of desired wavelengths, making them a valuable asset for your telescope.
What's particularly noteworthy is that the ERF serves a dual purpose as an aperture mask, ensuring a direct angle of incidence for incoming light.
This innovative feature enhances the overall efficiency of the filtering process.
For optimal performance, DayStar recommends using filter assemblies at f/30 or slower.
Achieving this configuration is a straightforward process with the appropriate ERF and/or Barlow lens.
In cases where higher resolution or larger aperture configurations are desired, incorporating a Barlow is advised to elevate your viewing experience to new heights.
Important Instructions:
To facilitate a seamless integration, after your order is placed, please reach out to us via email with the following details:
- Please specify the telescope intended for use with this ERF and meticulously measure the outer diameter of the telescope's dew shield at the front using a ruler. This precise measurement is paramount, as ERFs are custom made on an individual basis to ensure a perfect fit.
- Failure to provide this measurement may result in a temporary hold on your order until the necessary information is retrieved. Your satisfaction and optimal performance is our priority.
Features & Highlights:
