Please note:
- Despite the 3nm nomenclature, the actual bandwidth of these filters is closer to 4nm. Please see the specifications below.
- While example tranmission curves on this item page show peak transmissions exceeding 90%, Askar only guarantees a minimum of 85%, although it will typically be higher.
For all astrophotography enthusiasts, filters are one of the indispensable accessories to achieve perfect deep-sky imaging. The dedicated astronomy filters for deep-sky imaging can effectively eliminate the influence from the background light and enhance the contract of your photographs and make the targets displayed more clearly and delicately. Askar’s newly-launched Color Magic Duo Ultra-Narrowband deep-sky filters are a professional astrophotography tool specifically designed for deep-sky imaging.
The Askar Color Magic Ultra-Narrowband filters have an extremely narrow bandwidth, and an ultra-high transmittance. With a narrower band pass than the Askar 5nm deep-sky filters, the Color Magic Ultra-Narrowband allow you can capture high-quality deep-sky pictures, even if your are at an area affected by the urban light pollution, night glow and other undesired light. Even if you are in an area seriously affected by light pollution, the pictures taken with the Askar Color Magic Ultra-Narrowband filter are still very good. It is so practical and efficient that you can get astronomical images of high quality with just one duo-band filter and an ordinary astronomical color camera. At the same time, the Color Magic Ultra-Narrowband deep-sky narrowband filter has very good halation control, providing more contribution to your astrophotography.
ColorMagic 3nm H-alpha Filter
The ColorMagic H-alpha filter is an ideal choice for capturing nebulae and supernova remnants containing H-alpha emissions. It has a center wavelength of 656.5nm with at least 85% peak transmittance, its 3nm ultra-narrow bandwidth effectively blocks light pollution and airglow. Even in heavily light-polluted areas, it delivers high-contrast images, while under dark skies, it further enhances the structural detail and tonal depth of your targets.
