TeleVue Nebular and Planetary Filters

TeleVue Bandmate™ filters yield bright, sharp and contrasty images — even in the optically sensitive position in front of the diagonal. Optical glass and red filtering allows for sharp and bright views of nebulae with embedded star clusters — such as the Lagoon Nebula (M8).

Star Test

Star test using Bandmate filter Star test using inferior filter

TeleVue noticed an Internet post about their filter performance, and thought it would be instructive to actually see images of an artificial star taken through an f/5 test telescope at high power with the filters positioned in front of the diagonal. This is part of TeleVue's 100% Q.C. check. Can you guess which random sample is a TeleVue Bandmate™ NebuStar, and which is another brand? (Both shown in best focus positions at the same scale).

100% quality control:

  • Every TeleVue filter is checked optically and cosmetically to assure performance.
  • Every nebular filter is individually serialized.
