Astronomik L-2 Filter

4.5

Best optical clarity for dedicated astrophotography enthusiasts using APS C cameras.

This filter is designed to help tune your setup for the sharpest, most contrast-rich images by blocking ultraviolet and infrared light. It offers a standard spectral window suitable for APO refractors, reflecting telescopes with focal reducers, and RASA telescopes. The transmission characteristics and coatings are engineered to eliminate halos and reflections, ensuring nebulae and galaxies are imaged with the finest structures and maximum contrast, even with bright stars present. It features a 1mm glass thickness and a 50mm diameter, with a mechanical thickness of 3mm.
