Antlia ALP-T Dualband 5nm HA & OIII Filter - 2"

Antlia ALP-T Dual Band 5nm Ha & OIII Filter - 2"

The Antlia ALP-T dual band 5nm Ha & OIII filter is a dual line-pass filter which was designed to be used primarily with one-shot color (OSC) cameras such as DSLR's and astronomical OSC cameras. It can also be used as a narrowband filter for monochrome cameras to save imaging time. The advanced multi-coatings on Antlia ALP-T ultra dual band filter effectively isolates the red Ha and the blue-green OIII lines from emission nebulae, with almost total suppression of optical density (OD) 4.5 on unwanted wavelengths from light pollution, moonlight, and airglow. The result is that the Antlia ALP-T dual band 5nm filter creates a superior signal-to-noise ratio and better contrast in your images. This dualband filter enables the capture of the two main emission nebulae bands at the same time, whilst suppressing unwanted light pollution. It enables you to capture cleaner data and reduces the post processing efforts to isolate faint details from the background light pollution.

The 2" version of the ALP-T Dualband 5nm H-Alpha & OIII Filter is mounted in a ultra-thin filter cell (M48*0.75) to minimize vignetting while maximizing clear aperture. The 2" filter ring is black anodized and laser engraved with the filter type.

Antlia ALP-T Dual Band 5nm Ha & OIII Filter Highlights
