"I don't care [about halos] at all. But apparently the whole community is adamant that halos are horrible...and then that's fine." 😅 I recently acquired data from the Horsehead for the first time and Alnitak was fierce. I showed it to coworkers and they thought the halo was the "prettiest part" of the image. They want to use it in something they are publishing. I didn't have the heart to tell them that halos are horrible and I did everything I could to kill the "prettiest" thing in the image. Sigh...perhaps we're being too hard on ourselves.

It's not so much the expense of narrow band imaging with me Cuiv as I already own a camera, filters and a filter wheel, it's the time. I don't get that many clear nights so it can take me two months or even more to get enough data with my mono set up to get even a just about ok final image. I have actually recently gone over to using a OSC camera for this reason, although I still use my mono for capturing Ha which I add to my colour images as I find it usually enhanced them. I do like the Hubble pallet though so will probably give these filters a try (I don't have the money for the Altair 4nm filters) Thanks for another informative and entertaining video.

Hi Cuiv!! Kudos to Askar / Sharpstar (and of course to you !) for bringing Astrophotography to the masses! After I saw your video on the Altair duo band filters I looked around to see if there were some other brands offering something like that. And found an alternative: the Askar ColourMagic *D1* & *D2* which are 6nm. Since I already have the Optolong L-eNhance I ordered the D2 filter only (so I will have 10nm Ha from the L-eNhance, and 6nm S-II and O-III from the D2) any tips on what to use as luminance?? The "problem" with the L-eNhance (and the C1/C2 filters) is that the O-III band has H-beta in it at 486nm (I guess this is why it is not centered around 500.7 wavelength) So in the O channel has some H in it. (but judging from your pictures that doesn't seem to be a big issue :-) Another cool product that Askar/Sharpstar have just released is the Sharpstar 50ED, which is probably the most budget triplet with R&P focuser (It's basically the Askar FMA230 but with a R&P focuser.

I've been playing with these for the past couple weeks and I must say the performance is very impressive at the price point being offered. I think having the wider band passes is also easier as a newbie since it's easier to manually focus with more light coming in, and I assume the guiding is slightly more forgiving than a truly narrow narrowband filter would allow (?) Been too much haze to do any really rigorous testing so I'm happy that others are starting to put up their impressions and reviews. I noticed a HUGE improvement on the Jellyfish nebula. n Gem went from an ENORMOUS blazing white halo (with diffraction spike-style voids in it) to something much more petite and pleasing to the eye. I'm excited to dig into the data and get into all kinds of fun color palettes.

C1 band pass around 500 nm is large enough to transmit 486nm Hbeta 496nm OIII and 501nm OIII. It should be a decent visual filter similar to Baader UHC-S or lumicon deep sky (i.e. Between Astronomiks CLS and UHC)

I could be wrong, but I believe fast optical systems blue-shift the light. So that would be why to place the bandpass you want toward the red/right side.

Another great video Cuiv, I think these are really interesting, especially as someone who lives in a bortle 3/4 zone (depends on which direction you look) and mostly would want narrowband filters for artistic purposes or to shoot Ha while the moon is out, I would seriously consider buying these. Shame it doesn't seem that they come in 2" filters, I use a rather small 585 sensor so I don't feel the need to spend the extra money on 2" filters, but at that price I suppose that it really doesn't matter other than having to get a couple of new adapters.

Anyway, I noticed several posts asked about using these on the Seestar. I agree the Seestar's internal LP filter would cause problems but the internal UV/IR filter shouldn't have any affect on the C2. Just deselect the "filter" option on the Seestar during capture when using the C2. I'm guessing that the Seestar LP filter is probably a ZWO duoband filter which other posts have said has the same specs as the C1.

Civ really love your channel and what you have done for the community by measuring filter responses. I was thinking about this and the really wide OIII bandwidth is going to capture Hb in the Blue and Green channels so its really important that you don't extract the Blue channel in addition to the Green when trying to isolate OIII. But even then you are still getting about 60% relative response from the IMX571 OSC at Hb (486um) so you are going to get Hb polluting the OIII channel even if you only take the green pixels. To me this is really really detrimental as that Hb has the potential to match or exceed the response from OIII in some targets. Hb effectively overlaying Ha but with a weaker signal, so if you shot something with good OIII and Ha separation like an SNR I would predict a ghost copy of the Ha in the OIII channel.......but is that ok for the price? I don't know personally I would be ok with the wider OIII bandwidth but not sure about being ok with it grabbing Hb too.....would love to see you test this aspect of the filters on such a target showing the isolated OIII channel.
@CuivTheLazyGeek

It's a good question, but honestly I think Hb is far less of a problem than Ha contaminating B and G pixels in the first place which together pass something like 25% of Ha according to the per color response curves ;)

really great video, I'm thinking of taking the plunge on filters so one/both of these might be ideal. What would be the advice on using these with an unmodified DSLR? I'm guessing it will still really help cut that light pollution signal, but not making the most of Ha? I'm also experimenting with film astrophotography (either with SLR and lenses or coupled to my reflector) so you cant stack multiple exposures like usual but instead have to do single long exposures. At the moment light pollution almost completely overexposes the film from my Bortle 7/8 backyard. These filters should cut that right down, right?

The in camera filter will reduce Ha but also SII significantly. Ha is strong enough it can withstand that, SII isn't... I wouldn't recommend the C2 filter on an unmodded DSLR...

Thanks for the review. I was thinking about getting these, but went for the L-Quad. Unfortunately i didn't get a chance to test it yet. Wonder how it would do in Tokyo.

Price isn't bad at all and the data looks better than any optolong filter, just wished the O3 bandpass didn't allow H-beta in.

7 ай бұрын
H-Beta wouldn't be a problem at all - there's already quite a bit of H-Alpha/SII getting into your Blue and Green pixels due to the bayer matrix filter bandpasses!

Hello. Congratulations on your channel. It's really fantastic what I learn from your videos. I have the following question, since I have the optolong L enhance, would it be enough to buy that C2 filter and thus save me buying the C1? thank you so much

Thanks David! And you are right, if you already have the L-eNhance, you could just get the C2!

Interesting. I wonder what the difference between the C1/2 and the D1/2 are in terms of actual usage. The D series is a 6nm filter, and I'm guessing in a Bortle 6+ you might see some difference, but I wonder how much. Anyway, my stuff is all put away in storage right now because I have to replace so much of it, so I'm not out under the night skies, but for where I am and the budget I'm on, I think the C series is a great solution if I was using a color camera. Thanks!

So, just to be 100% sure, if I already have an L-Enhance I would be fine with just the C2 and do that funky colour stuff you showed on M42?

Now someone needs to come out with a Johnson Cousins filter set , or other photometry filter set for less that $1400.

Hi. Nice review. Question: are they parfocal? Can I swap the c1 and c2 using my filter drawer without refocusing? Cheers
@CuivTheLazyGeek

They're parfocal, but I've never seen filters, even from Astrodon, that didn't benefit from a refocus after filter change, especially at fast focal ratios...

@@CuivTheLazyGeek Thanks Cuiv. The thing is, I'm lazy! But seriously, I take your point. One more thing. I've access to an Optolong l-enhance. Do you think that along with the c2 would work? Or must I have both the c1 and c2? Cheers.

Is there any way to combine images from these two filters WITHOUT Pixinsight? I spent all my $ on hardware and can't afford the very expensive PI software. If I combine in Gimp, at what stage in post (in, say, Siril or SarTools)? I use NINA for acquisition; it seems to be so much better than the commercial programs (and more quickly updated besides). So it seems I should be able to use some free or at least less expensive software for post.
