With modern interference filters, amateur astronomers can now achieve excellent image results. The applications include narrow-band emission line filters, broader-band color filters and filters for suppressing artificial light emission.
Altair Quad-Band 2" Filter for OSC CMOS, CCD and Modified or Unmodded DSLR cameras.
This is the new QuadBand V2 Coating technology which includes:
Halo suppression. We have not had any reports of halos caused by this filter in testing.
Increased blocking of UV, IR and unwanted visual range wavelengths.
UV OD7 (T0.00001%) Visual OD5 (T0.001%) and IR OD4 (T0.01%) for the
ultimate in skyglow blocking.
Higher transmission % of desired wavelengths Ttop 95% (Average 5% higher transmission of desired wavelengths).
Ha and Oiii wavelengths at 35nm FWHM for with less tail-off to reduce unwanted light pollution.
SkyTech Quad-Band EOS Clip Filter for DSLR cameras (including
astro-modified) Narrowband Bi-Colour imaging is a growing new trend in
astrophotography, especially popular in light polluted areas, or for
imaging in rural areas in moonlight.
Capture the two main emission nebulae bands at the same time, whilst suppressing light pollution, moonlight, and airglow.
More data in less time, opening up your imaging window, even into
the summer months when it isn't quite dark yet. Capture twice the Oiii
data, whilst obtaining Sii to complement the Altair Ha Oiii DualBand
filter.
Extremely steep bandpass yields maximum contrast in extreme light
pollution: 4nm FHWM centred on 500.7nm Oiii wavelength, and 4nm FHWM
centred on the 671.6nm Sii wavelength.
Halo suppression anti-reflective coating.
Can be used with One Shot Colour (OSC) CMOS or mono astronomical cameras for luminance data.
Includes UVIR blocking for both modified and un-modified DSLR cameras.
The 2" filter has standard M48x0.75mm thread, and fits inside the
Altair Magnetic Filter holders, standard 2" filter wheels, plus the
Altair Canon / Nikon DSLR lens to astro CMOS adaptors.
The Altair Astro Premium Oiii 6.5nm filter is designed for astro imaging
of nebulae with Mono CCD or CMOS cameras, blocking light pollution by
cutting out the light pollution wavelengths. The filter blocks UV IR and
has an anti-reflection AR coating.
The Altair Astro Premium Sii 6.5nm filter is designed for astro imaging
of nebulae with Mono CCD or CMOS cameras, blocking light pollution by
cutting out the light pollution wavelengths. The filter blocks UV IR and
has an anti-reflection AR coating.
The Altair Astro Premium 7nm Ha filter is designed for astro imaging of
nebulae with Mono CCD or CMOS cameras, blocking light pollution by
cutting out the light pollution wavelengths.
The Altair Astro Premium Narrowband filter set is designed for astro
imaging of nebulae with Mono CCD or CMOS cameras, blocking light
pollution by cutting out the light pollution wavelengths.
SkyTech TriBand Canon EOS Clip Filter Narrowband Bi-Colour imaging is a growing new trend in astrophotography, especially popular in light polluted areas, or for imaging in rural areas in moonlight.
