Default New Filter for Mars

Hi,
We have a new filter to enhance Mars. We call it 'MARS2003'(a bit of a
gimmick?).

This filter has high transmissions over the spectrum except for strong
rejection between 530nm and 600nm. This causes Mars to take on an odd
red color with sharply defined, dark blue/green markings. The effect
is quite dramatic. Its not a subtle filter .... it bops you in the eye
with its effect.

We will retail this interference filter at $39.95.

The name MARS2003 doesn't truly mean that its only for Mars. It should
do well on other planets and also function as a second rate nebula
filter.
