F25CN270 - NUV-MAMA
Description
The F25CN270 filter with the NUV-MAMA provides medium bandwidth imaging near the Mg II 2798 Å feature.
Recommended Uses
This filter is recommended for imaging Mg II 2798 Å line emission and its local continuum.
Special Considerations
There is a substantial red leak 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.
