Our new MaxFR filters are made in a completely new way, designed to work perfectly with fast optical systems. The built-in well known MFR Coating technique gives you the best out-of-band blocking possible across the entire range of wavelengths from the UV up to IR! Your advantage of our new design is a extremly high contrast, minimized stray light, no halos and needle-sharp stars. The Astronomik MFR narrowband-emissionline filters give you the best quality of data: The best start material to be processed to a awesome final image!
For maximum contrast the SII filter is carefully designed to block all light coming from H-alpha and NII (nitrogen).
Imaging with Narrowband-Emissionline Filters
If you have to observe from light polluted sites (like most of us...), imaging with narrowband-emission line filters is the best way to take great images, as all kind of light pollution can be blocked very effective! Normally an H-alpha filter should be your first step into this amazing field of Astrophotography ! With an Narrowband H-alpha filter you will be able to take deep and contrasting images even with very heavy light pollution or with the full moon high up in the sky!
If you look at other Astrophotosgraphs an H-alpha is the best choice for all nebula glowing red! An OIII filters expands your imaging possibilities, as you are able to image all greenish/blueish structures. Planetary nebula and star forming regions are great targets! The SII filters completes your HSO-set of filters. With these three filters you are able to process your images like the ones from the Hubble space telescope!
Quality aspects of the new Astronomik MFR narrowband-emission line filters:
You get the highest quality possible with every single Astronomik filter to be able to take perfect images with your instruments! Especially the filters against light pollution and the narrowband-emission line filters will expand your imaging possibilities enormous! You are investing your money for an accessory which will work in lot´s of years in the same ways it did when it was brand new. Due to our special coating technique the filters do not degrade when getting older, and due to the new MFR coating you will be able to use the filter on nearly all instruments!
Typicall questions asked by customers looking for Narrowband-Emission line Filters:
The question which full-width-half-maximum (FWHM) is the "best", shows up on in Emails on our monitor or when talking to customers at fairs very often. A general "right" or "wrong" or "best" does not make any sense. We would not offer both series if they were not needed.
If you have a camera with an extremely low dark current and effective cooling, the 6nm filters will give you major advantages: Due to the stronger blocking of the background you will be able to expose longer and get deeper images! All stars are very tiny points, most faint stars do not show up anymore! -This is a major advantage even for normal cameras, as you can take images of faint structures even in star-crowded regions of the milky way!
To put it short: 12nm Filters are the right choice for all DSLR`s and dark-current limited cameras.
6nm filters are the best choice for observing sites with extreme strong light pollution, cameras with low dark-current and when weak objects require the maximum contrast and star-reduction possible!
This question is asked quite often, and the answer is very easy: You don have to expose longer, but you MAY expose longer!
Due to the high transmission of approximately 100% at the center wavelength nearly all emission line photons reach the sensor. So the number of for example "H-alpha-photons" does not change significant weather a H-alpha filter is installed or not. But looking at the photons of other wavelength, which we do NOT want to record makes the effect of the filter clear: The combination of a very good blocking of all unwanted light from UV up to the IR and the narrow bandwidth of the filters reduces all unwanted signal on the sensor! If you do an exposure of 30 sec without any filters from a light polluted urban observing site, your sky-background might be already very, very bright or even saturated. The same image taken with an Narrowband -Emission line filter will give you a perfect black background without any signal and the signal from the object will be about the same. With this black background you have the possibility to expose longer -probably 30 min instead- to record fainter structures! So it`ś not a "must", it´s a "can".
