Optolong 2″ Filter Set with LRGB and 7nm H-Alpha Filters
Whether you’re interested in viewing the planets in our solar system or deep-space imaging, the Optolong LRGB/H-Alpha filter set combines all of the filters you could ever need for stunning views of the night sky. In this set, you will get Optolong’s Luminance, Red, Green, and Blue (LRGB) filters and a 7nm Hydrogen-Alpha filter. All filters are housed in a 2″ cell.
All Optolong filters in this set are made with Schott glass that has been multi-coated with an ion-assisted deposition technology to ensure scratch resistance and stability on the central wavelength, or CWL. The filter cells are made of lightweight, strong metal and are CNC machined, sand-blasted, black anodized, and then laser engraved. The result is a super thin filter cell that will produce a clear aperture of 45mm.
Optolong LRGB Filter Set – The Optolong LRGB Filter Set comes with four 2” mounted filters, including Red, Green, Blue, and Luminance. They are designed for de-bayered monochrome CCD and CMOS cameras and work great for both planetary and deep-sky imaging. Like all Optolong filters that are designated as “CCD”, this filter set blocks infrared wavelengths from 700nm to 1100nm so you don’t need a separate IR-Cut filter.
Optolong 7nm H-Alpha Filter – The Optolong H-Alpha 7nm is an extremely narrow emission-line filter that works by allowing a 7nm bandwidth of light, centered on the 656nm wavelength through, and blocking the transmission of contrast-killing light pollution wavelengths. Wavelengths that are responsible for natural light pollution, or skyglow, are drastically reduced, as is artificial light pollution caused by high and low-pressure sodium vapor and mercury vapor lights. The result is a high contrast image that reveals the H-alpha line in all its glory.
