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:
Anti-Halo coating on both surfaces to reduce reflection artefacts from reducers and camera lenses.
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.
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.
