UHC filter name?

[DazC]

Just a quick question,

I've been looking to buy a Badder HUC filter online but am puzzled by thr name. On some sites they are Badder UHC filters and on other sites they are Badder UHC-S/L-BOOSTER filters. They are both roughly the same price which leads me to believe they are the same thing but i just want to be sure before i order one.:icon_scratch:

Thanks in advance.

At the Baader site they call it UHC-S/L-Booster.

Here's the Baader product list:

And here's the page (in German) for their UHC-S/ L-Booster

Thanks acey, that product list helped.

I'll keep that for future reference.

They are different, the UHC-S is a broader band filter, where as the UHC is more narrow-band, depends on your preferences, more light throughput or less, also the aperture of your scope will impact. The UHC is the one I prefer, good all-rounder.
