Source for UBVRI filters?
I've been looking for a good quality set of Bessel filters for
photometry and accurate colour imaging. I want the full UBVRI set as my CCD (SXV-H9) has a reasonable QE across this range. I know I'm being optimistic with the U end, but I'd like to try it out anyway. I found a UK supplier offering a 32mm set for £360 (~$600) but they're held in plain aluminium rings – no threads!! The supplier will customise but this adds to the cost so I'm still looking for solutions. I want to fit these into a True Tech filter wheel with a five hole carrier that takes the usual threaded filters (e.g. Astronomics O-III or H-II). Can a "threadless" filter be fitted to this with adapters or holders of some kind? If so, where can I get them (a UK source is preferred but not essential)? Alternatively, can anyone recommend any source of good quality UBVRI filters that are "ready-threaded" and around the same price or less? Past advice in the archives is getting a bit dated and it's a tough search on Google… Thanks Beats |
