F25MGII-NUV-MAMA


Description

The F25MGII filter with the NUV-MAMA provides narrow-band imaging centered on the 2798 Å MgII feature.

Recommended Uses

Narrowband imaging.

Special Considerations

There is a substantial redleak in this filter. Sources with a red underlying continuum may be difficult to observe. Users should be careful to take into account the underlying continuum in estimating whether the observation will fall within the bright-object protection limits.
