ZWO Duo Band Filters are dual narrowband filters primarily aimed at complementing the range of one-shot colour camerasincluding ZWO’s ASI cameras. They’re perfect for the astronomer who may already own a One Shot Colour (OSC) camera and wants to image using narrowband techniques on emission objects without purchasing a mono camera, filter wheel and narrowband filter set.

The dual band-pass nature of the Duo Band filter passes light at H (656 nm) and OIII (500 nm) wavelengths, and can greatly reduce the interference from natural light sources such as moonlight or artificial light pollution such as street lighting.

Contrast and visibility of deep sky objects such as emission nebulaeis improved.

If you’re looking for an economical solution to deep sky photography in light polluted areas ($139 for 1.25″ and $249 for 2″), the ZWO Duo Band Filters are a great choice.

The 1.85 mm Duo-Band filter can be used with most cameras and filter wheels, including ASI cameras and EFW Electronic Filter Wheels, and comes in 1.25″ and 2″ sizes.
