Optolong LRGB HA Kit Telescope Filter Kit – 1.25″

The LRGB H-alpha telescope filter Kit is designed for maximum contrast and with extremely high gradients for clear differentiation of colors along with the most popular narrowband filter which allow only 7nm bandwidth of light.

 

The LRGB filter set:

This set divides the spectrum into its components red, green, blue, and luminance.

OIII emission overlaps on blue and green filters with maximum transmission to allow high efficiency and natural color imaging. Gap between green and red filters serves to block out the primary Sodium light pollution line at 589nm and improves color balance and separation.

Main Use and Performance

• Work well with debayered monochrome CCD cameras
• Suitable for deepsky and planetary CCD imaging
• RGB-imaging allows equal weighting factors for each channel, very important for automated imaging.
• The ideal raw material for image processing in the sRGB color space is available with LRGB filter set and mono CCD camera.

 

 

The H-alpha 7nm Deep Sky Imaging Filter:

H-Alpha 7nm filter is the most popular narrowband filter allowing 7nm bandwidth of light centered on a wavelength of 656nm through, and reducing the transmission of certain wavelengths of light, specifically those produced by artificial light including mercury vapor, and both high and low pressure sodium vapor lights and the unwanted natural light caused by neutral oxygen emission in our atmosphere (i.e. skyglow). Best choice of narrowband H-alpha astrophotography filter for highest contrast and revealing subtle nebula details.

Main Use and Performance

• Suitable for viewing on faint emission nebula of H-Alpha line in full moonlight or in severe light pollution
• Hubble look of images can be made by the combination of H-alpha, OIII-CCD and SII-CCD, such as the famous “Pillars of Creation” (M16 Eagle Nebula)
• Narrowband imaging with SHO set (H-alpha, OIII-CCD and SII-CCD) can be done with the moon up in heavy light pollution, so your equipment is not sitting dormant for several weeks
• H-alpha filter is the first narrowband addition to LRGB set for most imagers who blend a black-and-white Ha image into RGB data to enhance structural detail while maintaining natural look
• Narrowband filter do not eliminate the effects of light pollution or increase the object’s brightness. In many cases, they increase the contrast between nebula and night sky, not brightening the nebula.
