Table of Deep-Sky-Objects for Nebula Filters

The following table is a result from an internet search on the topic “observation reports with nebula filters”. A small portion of the table results from own observations. You can derive from this table, which nebula filter is best suited for a given object.

If you find this table useful, we appreciate if you set a link to this from your own homepage, if any. We would like to make this table available to all amateur astronomers interested in. If you have comments, corrections, own observations: just send us an email, we will incorporate it to this table.

How to read the signs for the different filters:

++ : very good: contrast and visibility of this object are remarkably enhanced

+ : good: contrast and visibility are enhanced

o : fair: contrast is just a little bit better or in certain areas and/or parts of the nebula are dimmed

- : not recommended: emitted radiation in filtered lines is to low, worse than without filter.
