The Antlia LRGBR+ Dark series filters are designed with a fullspectrum curve from 390nm to 1000nm, making it sensitive toboth UV and IR light for high signal-to-noise ratio and contrastimaging in deep sky full-spectrum photography. The LRGB dark series filters are made of quartz glass, which hasexceptional thermal and mechanical properties due to its ultra-lowthermal expansion coefficient. These filters offer remarkabledurability for imaging and research in the most challenging environmental conditions.
Considering the high quantum efficiency (QE) of the cameras inthe near-infrared bands, Antlia incorporates a Red+700-1000nmfilter into LRGB dark series to capture valuable signals that cannotbe detected by regular LRGB filters.
In post-processing, combine the R and R+ channels to create a new R channel. The remaining steps for processingare identical to those used as regular LRGB filters.
The LRGBR+ Dark series filters are best paired with Antlia SHO 2.8nm and 2.5nm Ultra Narrowband filters, as theyshare the same quartz substrate and refractive index, resulting in better parfocality.
Filters Specifications:
The main features and application:
- Full spectrum design enhances the sensitivity of imaging to both UV and IR light.
- High transmittance B filter≥95%，L-R-G filter≥97%，this ensures that there is almost no loss in image signal, maximizing contrast;
- Made of quartz glass, excellent durability and thermal stability, as well as better fracture and scratch resistance,improved coating resilience to cleaning;
- More infrared signal to be found by combining Red+ filter;
- Out of band blocking specification is designed to OD4.5 (0.005%) to block interference from other wavelengths andminimize halos around bright stars;
- Identical filter thickness to existing standards and double-sided fine polishing , with utmost care for parfocality
- All Antlia filters are coated to the edge of the substrate and unmounted sizes are edge blackened to eliminate internal reflections from stray light；
- Filters are resistant to scratches；
- Warranty: 3-years against delamination.
