7nm Dual Band Imaging for Your Canon EOS-R
Enhance your Canon EOS-R camera's view of deep sky objects with this premium clip-in filter from Optolong! With a design that places the filter element inside your camera, seamlessly boost astrophoto image contrast and battle light-pollution with any system your camera is attached to. Whether you want to capture ultra-wide images with a camera lens or close up views through a telescope, the Optolong L-eXtreme EOS-R Clip-In Filter is the perfect solution!
This high performance accessory isolates Ha and OIII emission lines with remarkable clarity, displaying vivid contrast between each gas. With a narrow 7 nm bandwidth, you can expect stark separation between the background sky and the targeted nebula, making it wonderful for those in light polluted areas! Additionally, this L-eXtreme widens your imaging opportunities, offering outstanding nebulae definition even when the Moon is bright. Through its impressive performance and adaptability, this Optolong L-eXtreme is the ideal choice for astroimagers seeking the precision needed for next-level narrowband images!
A High Performance Astrophotography Filter of the Utmost Quality
Let's Take a Deeper Look!
What sets one filter apart from another? Which filter is best for me? When developing a filter, manufacturers provide a chart that represents the wavelengths permitted through this filter. This gives insight into the filter’s performance, and what it can help you achieve. So, how exactly do I read a transmission chart? Our team has put together a comprehensive article, to help you understand the fundamentals on How to Read a Transmission Chart. Check out the article and feel more confident about choosing the right filter for your needs!
Stunning Detail on Emission Nebulae
This Optolong L-eXtreme is designed to be paired with your Canon EOS-R, collecting Ha and OIII wavelengths in one go. As opposed to utilizing multiple narrowband filters with a monochrome camera, this approach is much more efficient, allowing you to produce stunning narrowband images in a more timely manner. This filter shines when used on emission nebulae, such as the Orion Nebula, the Veil Nebula, the Elephant's Trunk Nebula, and plenty more, highlighting the various gasses present within these celestial bodies. Perfect for those in light polluted environments, the slim 7 nm bandwidth blocks out unwanted wavelengths, leaving behind detailed, high contrast images!
Installation & Compatibility
Installing this filter into your Canon EOS-R is quick and straightforward! After laying your camera on a flat surface, place this filter over the sensor window with the “Optolong” print facing upwards. Next, hold the top of the filter in place then gently push the bottom of the filter until it’s secured in place. You’re now free to attach your telescope or camera lens for deep-sky imaging. This Canon EOS-R L-eXtreme filter is compatible with the following camera models: EOS R/Ra, EOS RP, EOS R3,EOS R5, EOS R5II, and EOS R6.
