For the color camera astrophotographer, Optolong brings you an incredible
imaging filter that can streamline your SHO workflow! With 7nm dual band SII
and OIII filtering, set off your typical dual band images with additional
color & detail and make nebulae shine. Realize exciting efficiency today, with
the Optolong L-Synergy 2" Filter!
Streamline Hubble-palette image
creation with this set from Optolong! With both dual band L-Synergy and
L-eXtreme 2" filters included, this combo gives your color camera a shortcut
to incredible SHO images. Simplify the next step in your astrophotography
journey, with the Optolong L2 Dual Combo 2" Filter Set!
Creating captivating SHO (SII, Ha, and OIII) palette images doesn't require switching to monochrome or buying expansive filter sets with this filter synergy from Optolong. Leveraging the additional color information gathered by a one-shot-color (OSC) camera, the Optolong L2 Dual Combo 2" Filter Set allows you to collect the Hubble-palette with just two filters instead of three! This is achieved with Optolong's premium 7nm dual band filters, the SII/OIII L-Synergy and Ha/OIII L-eXtreme. These powerful and precise filters give you incredible light pollution suppression and contrast, revealing nebulosity in crisp detail even in challenging environments. With Optolong's halo suppression filter technology, this combination set will render the wispy wonders of nebuale with clarity. If you want to fast track fantastic results, this system from Optolong is hard to beat!
A Stunning SHO Set
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!
Two Premium Filters, Three Filter Results
The Optolong L2 Dual Combo 2" Filter Set brings a two filter system that yields three filter results for one incredible value!
Premium Dual Band Performance
The L-Synergy brings you
precision dual band filtering, with thin 7 nm bandpasses at the SII and OIII
emission lines! These slight breaks in the light spectrum isolate those key
wavelengths for
incredible contrast and detail on narrowband targets and features. This precision allows you to hone in on nebulosity even in significant
light pollution. Optolong's extensive imaging filter experience is on full
display with the L-Synergy, with a formula that also fights the dreaded
haloing effect; leaving you with sharp stunning shots of the sky's ethereal
wonders!
A High Quality Traditional Dual Band
Optolong's
L-eXtreme filter has cemented itself as a staple of OSC narrowband imaging,
with its powerful filtering performance! A more traditional dual band
filter, the L-eXtreme targets the Ha and OIII emission lines with laser
focus. It's 7nm bandpasses on both these critical wavelengths allows you to
create stunning images of nebulae like the Elephant's Trunk, Heart Nebula,
North American, and more! Optolong has thrown their expertise behind this
filter as well, with improved halo performance for great image clarity even
when bright stars are nearby.
Create SHO with Just 2 Filters!
This 2 filter set from
Optolong puts you on the fast track to creating the typical 3 filter SHO or
'Hubble-palette' look! This is made possible by the extra color information
that OSC cameras collect and the synergy of the included L-eXtreme and
L-Synergy's clever emission line targeting. As the two emission lines each
filter targets are far enough apart on the light spectrum, it is possible
separate the RGB channels collected by your color camera to isolate two
narrowband channels from one frame. With coverage of SII, Ha, and OIII from
the included filters, just two frames give you the three traditional
channels of a stunning SHO palette. This efficiency allows you to create
images with this excellent, dynamic, color profile in less time and with
less complication than a monochrome setup!
Easy Integration
Optolong has ensured that integrating
this filter set into your astrophotography system is straight forward, with
both filters from the Optolong L2 Dual Combo 2" Filter Set featuring a
standard 2" threaded filter design. With M48x0.75 threaded filter cells, you
can use this set with just about all common 2" filter solutions; from the
manual
ZWO Gen 2 M42 x 0.75 Filter Drawer for 2" Filters
to simplified electronic options like the
ZWO 5 Position Electronic Filter Wheel for 2" Filters. The 2" size give you plenty of camera coverage as well, capable of
accommodating up to full-frame sensors.
Premium Construction
These premium filters from
Optolong feature optical glass substrate for superb clarity. They feature a
transmittance Tp of 85%; with the L-Synergy providing 7nm bandpasses on the
SII and OIII emission lines, and the L-eXtreme honing in on 7nm bandpasses
of the Ha and OIII lines. Their surface is 60/40 quality, with a flatness
λ/4 and a parallelism of 30s. The filter thickness is 1.85mm. For
safe storage when not in use, each filter comes packed in an EVA foam-lined
plastic cases.
