Know before you buy
Yes, these are standard 2-inch mounted filters. As long as your filter wheel or drawer accepts 2-inch threaded filters, they will work with any brand of monochrome astronomy camera.
You will need a filter wheel or drawer designed to accommodate 2-inch mounted filters. Ensure your equipment has the correct thread size to securely hold the 2-inch housing.
LRGB imaging offers significantly higher resolution and sensitivity, especially for deep-sky objects. By capturing separate color channels, you gain more control over the final image processing and can achieve better signal-to-noise ratios.
The Luminance filter captures the full spectrum of light, providing the high-resolution detail and sharpness for your final image. You then layer the color data from the Red, Green, and Blue filters over this detailed luminance base.
Yes, these filters are designed to be parfocal, meaning you should not need to refocus your telescope when switching between the different color filters during your imaging session.
