PLEASE NOTE: Antlia is making a running change to their packaging. They are transitioning from 2-piece magnetic plastic cases to a smaller 1-piece non-magnetic design. Depending on the item(s) you order, you may randomly get one case type or the other or a mix of the two. We cannot entertain requests for any specific case type.
IMPORTANT: Please read this important note below before buying Antlia narrowband filters. No returns will be accepted for Antlia narrowband filters exhibiting halos around bright stars as disclosed below.
Please note that some users may see halos around bright stars in images made with this filter. Such halos have been observed with filters from other leading manufacturers and in the previous generation of Antlia narrowband filters as well. These halos can be caused and/or made worse by other optical accessories in the imaging train, their relative positions, telescope design/optics, camera, software, or a combination thereof. In general, OIII filters seem to have a higher propensity to show halos compared to H-alpha or S-II filters, but in rare cases the latter filters can also exhibit faint halos around bright stars.
Antlia has made great strides in their coatings to minimize haloing of bright stars, but you may still observe this effect to some degree. See the sample OIII image below of Alnitak (magnitude 1.74) and IC434 in Orion (SkyRover 155mm Apo, ZWO 6200MM-P Camera, 20 min exposure) provided by Antlia. In most cases, haloing will not affect your image unless you have very bright stars in the field of view.
Please note we are unable to accept returns of any Antlia narrowband filters if you do observe this haloing effect in your images.
If you must ensure there are no detectable halos in your images, you may want to consider Astrodon or Chroma narrowband filters instead. These filters, however, cost two to three times as much as Antlia 3nm filters do. Antlia is being honest and upfront. They are the ones telling us about these halos, that their filters are great for the money but still not as good as Astrodon/Chroma, and pointing out that with this full disclosure, they will not accept returns. They are leaving it up to the customer to decide if this is good enough for them or not. We believe that for most imaging applications, Antlia filters continue to offer excellent value for astrophotographers and these continue to be among our top sellers.
Set includes five filters: Luminance (IR/UV-blocked colorless), Red, Green, Blue and Red+ filters
The Antlia LRGBR+ Dark series filters are designed with a full spectrum curve from 390nm to 1000nm, making it sensitive to both UV and IR light for high signal-to-noise ratio and contrast imaging in deep sky full-spectrum photography.
The LRGB dark series filters are made of quartz glass, which has exceptional thermal and mechanical properties due to its ultra-low thermal expansion coefficient. These filters offer remarkable durability for imaging and research in the most challenging environmental conditions.
Considering the high quantum efficiency (QE) of the cameras in the near-infrared bands, Antlia incorporates a Red+700-1000nm filter into LRGB dark series to capture valuable signals that cannot be detected by regular LRGB filters.
In post-processing, combine the R and R+ channels to create a new R channel. The remaining steps for processing are 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 they share the same quartz substrate and refractive index, resulting in better parfocality.
Applications and Performance:
- 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 and minimize 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 narrowband filters are edge blackened to eliminate internal reflections from stray light
- Filters are resistant to scratches
- Warranty: 3-years against delamination.
Technical Specifications:
- Transmission Range
- Luminance UV/IR: 390nm-710nm
- Red: 595-705nm
- Green: 495-600nm
- Blue: 400-505nm
- Red+: 700-1000nm
- Peak Transmission:
- Luminance UV/IR, Red, Green: 97%
- Blue, Red+: 95%
- Substrate:
- Luminance UV/IR, Red, Green, Blue: Quartz glass
- Red+: HWB
- Blocking: ≥OD4.5 (0.005%)
- Filter Thickness: 2mm+/-0.05mm
Filter Ring:
- None. 36mm round diameter, Unmounted
Not Recommended:
- Solar imaging
- Night visual observation
DO NOT LOOK AT THE SUN WITH ANTLIA FILTERS. Serious eye damage will result if you fail to observe the warning.
