17266  48mm Deep Sky filter - slight defect in coating $40.00. (will mount filter in 48mm threaded cell for no additional charge if requested)

17435  #23A Light Red Filter - unmounted - chipped edge $15.00 (will mount in 48mm threaded cell for no charge if requested)

We assemble our Bessell filters but every so ofter we goof and make one that has a small defect. For most purposes, the defect doesn't matter but we cannot sell them as new.
 
Bessell V, 50 mm with a small air bubble (0.10 inch diameter) between the glass  $90.00
 
Bessell R, 50 mm with slight separation near the edge coming in about 0.15 inch  $90.00

We have discontinued our 1-inch Johnson filters and replaced them with the Bessell formula. These are new filters at less than 1/2 our original price. Filters can be provided loose or mounted in our threaded cell at the your preference. Very limited quantity available. All come with custom transmission curve and are 7mm thick.
 
Johnson 1-inch diameter R filter  $50.00

We still have a few of the Custom Scientific filters left in stock. We have a few 50mm diameter filters left in stock that are priced at a substantial discount. These filters are new and are currently priced at $450.00 list from Custom. The Optec price is $330.00.
 
Blue Continuum, 476 nm CW, 10 nm BW, 50mm diameter.
 
Green Continuum,  510 nm CW, 10 nm BW, 50mm diameter.
We have some new neutral density filters mounted in 48mm threaded cells. These are Tiffen brand and are made from absorption glass. Transmissions available are 50%, 25% and 12.5%. Priced at $10.00 each. 

We have a Green with IR blocking 50-mm diameter 2-mm thick filter (#17247part of the LRGB set) with a long and very thin scratch on one side. It is so thin that I don't believe it would ever show up in an image. Regular price is $125.00 but the scratch-and-dent price is only $40.00.

We have replaced our old parfocal reducer with 0.62X reduction with our new 0.7X model. The old model had a short back focus distance of only 29mm but the correction is diffraction limited. These optics were designed for fast appos and give a well corrected field of 18mm. On a f/8 appo you would end up with a f/5. Perfect for a ST2000 with color chip on a TAK or similar. Only two left at $100.00. Your choice of mounting plate at no additional charge a $55.00 value. Mounting plates are listed on the bottom of page 3 of the price list.
