Narrow band imaging.



"Jolene Mc Squint-Fleming, our talented engineer at the JPO, was ecstatic this morning, when Royal Mail delivered three narrowband filters - Hydrogen alpha, Sulphur-ll and Oxygen-lll.

She is now 'beavering away in the clean room', with the  JPO 3d printer working overtime, to create filter holders to work with the range of telescopes and cameras we operate.

This recent acquisition will add another dimension to to the astrophotography to be undertaken in 2026 at the Jodrell Plank Observatory".  - Kurt Thrust current Director at the JPO - 'The UK's most easterly Astronomical Observatory.
