Products Information

Omega AstroFilters will be providing optical filters for the most standard viewing conditions. Our product line will be increasing regularly with new offers, so please return often to see what we have added to our product line.

In addition to our own filters, Omega AstroFilters is pleased to announce a partnership with DGM Optics, a company that has become known for its innovative, high performance filters.

GCE – DGM Optics™ Galaxy Contrast Enhancement Filter
The Galaxy Contrast Enhancement filter aids in the visual observation of galaxies and Milky Way dust clouds and dark lanes.

NPB – DGM Optics™ Narrow Pass Band Nebula Filter
An Ultra High Contrast type of filter that is very effective for small and fainter emission planetary and nebula and a variety of bright nebula, especially through larger scopes.

VHT – DGM Optics™ Very High Throughput Nebula Filter
An excellent Nebula filter for smaller scopes (4-6 inches aperture) where light gathering and throughput are at a premium. It is also quite effective with larger scopes.

HPOIII – DGM Optics™ High Performance OIII
The DGM Optics OIII makes an excellent complimentary filter to the NPB filter. The OIII’s high transmission and narrow bandwidth allows maximum enhancement and detail for a large variety of both emission and reflective nebula.

Excerpted from David Knisely on Cloudy Nights Telescopes Reviews.
The standard for many years for these filters was the Lumicon UHC filter, but now, DGM Optics and Omega Astrofilters have produced a new entry: the DGM Optics NPB ("Narrow Pass Band") Filter. It offers fine performance for a fairly modest price....I did like the view of the Veil just a bit more in the NPB than the UHC, and for M42, the difference was fairly noticeable for another reason: color! ... Overall, of the three narrow-band filters, I liked the DGM Optics NPB the best...The DGM Optics NPB Filter is an excellent narrow-band nebula filter which I recommend that nearly every amateur have in their eyepiece box.
