Enhance your astrophotography with the Altair 2.00 Inch CLS-CCD Filter. With its advanced UVIR and AR blocking capabilities, this filter delivers exceptional clarity and contrast to your celestial images. Say goodbye to unwanted light pollution and capture stunning details of galaxies, nebulae, and star clusters. Compatible with 2.00 inch telescope eyepieces, the Altair CLS-CCD Filter is a must-have tool for any serious astrophotographer. Elevate your astronomical adventures and unlock the beauty of the night sky with this premium filter.
The Altair Astro Premium 2" CLS-CCD Filter is designed for imaging with DSLR, CCD or CMOS cameras however it can be used for visual observation with 6-8" aperture or larger telescopes.
2" filter has 45mm clear aperture to minimise vignetting.
The Altair Astro CLS-CCD Filter Drastically reduces the effects of light pollution and natural moon or skyglow, permitting long exposure imaging, even in urban conditions.
Enhances nebulae with peak transmission of 95% in H 486.1nm; OIII 495.9nm; OIII 500.7nm and H 656.3nm wavelengths.
Artificial Light Pollution wavelengths are very effectively blocked, the primary ones being:
- Hg 435.8
- Hg 546.1nm
- Hg 577.0nm
- Hg 578.1nm
- Na 589.0
- Na 589.6nm
- Na 615.4nm
- Na 616.1nm
Aside from the high qualty Schott German glass and top quality coatings, these filters have some additional enhancements which make them ideal for your astro imaging application.
Advanced UV/IR blocking give small star sizes even with refractor optics, and AR (Anti Reflection) coatings reduce halo effects and internal reflections for more pleasing star images.
Can be used visually on 250mm or larger aperture telescopes for very high contrast. (Do not use for Sun!).
Specifications
- Multi-Layer Anti-Reflection coating to reduce star-halos and reflections from camera optical window.
