ZWO CH4 Methane Filter

Product Description 

The ZWO CH4 Methane Filter is a specialized narrowband filter designed for planetary astrophotography. With a central transmission wavelength around 889nm, it targets the methane absorption band to enhance contrast in the atmospheres of gas giant planets such as Jupiter and Saturn.

By isolating the methane absorption region, this filter helps astrophotographers reveal subtle atmospheric structures that may not be visible through standard RGB imaging. Its high transmission within the methane band and deep infrared cut-off make it a useful tool for detailed planetary imaging.
