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.
