Askar ColourMagic C 2" Duo-band Filter Package
SHO Imaging For OSC Cameras With This Askar Colour Magic Filter Package!
Thanks to Askar, creating a beautiful image in the SHO pallet no longer requires three different expensive filters nor a monochrome camera. Color camera users now have an opportunity to affordably image in SII, Ha, and OIII with this ingenious ColourMagic 2" Duo-band Filter Package! The C1 filter delivers a Ha and OIII band pass while the C2 filter provides an SII and OIII band pass, and when the captured data is combined, create stunning images in this popular color palette!
This innovation from Askar not only widens the possibilities of your color camera, it is also an effective method for reducing the effects of light pollution. By only allowing a certain wavelength of light through, stray light from surrounding street lamps, residential areas, and businesses is greatly diminished! With the peak transmittance of 90% in each wavelength and surface finish of 60/40, these high quality filters are sure to elevate your astrophotography experience!
Elevate Your Deep Space Imaging
Pushing the limits of OSC cameras, this Askar Colour Magic Filter Package offers captivating imaging opportunities for any astronomy enthusiast! Whether that be through the light pollution suppression, color mapping opportunities, or the quality craftsmanship, see why these duo-band filters are a must have within your toolkit!
Emission Nebula Imaging
Emission nebulae are celestial bodies that emit certain wavelength of light, typically in the Ha, SII, and OIII band passes. This Askar Colour Magic C1 filter has a peak transmittance of 90% in the 500.7nm (OIII) and 656.6nm (Ha), while the C2 filter has a peak transmittance of 90% in the 500.7nm (OIII) and 672nm (SII). The isolation of these wavelengths reveals intricate details within nebulosity by discerning them from the light polluted background sky. In post processing, mapping SII to red, Ha to green, and OIII to blue results in the popular Hubble (SHO) Palette!
Extensive Compatibility
Compatible with most filter wheels and filter drawers, seamlessly join these 2” Askar Colour Magic C1 or C2 filters to almost any set up! The wide surface area can easily cover full frame sensors, bringing narrowband imaging to a wide variety of color cameras.
Premier Construction
Askar has designed these duo-band filters with quality in mind. Both filters feature a thickness of 2 ± 0.05mm and deliver high performance with their rated 90% transmission within their respective wavelengths. Enjoy crystal clear images through the impressive surface finish of 60/40 as well as the barrier property of OD3 at 200-1000nm!
