Powerful Full Spectrum Imaging Performance — Apertura 2″ LRGB
Astrophotography Filter Set
Paint stunningly and vibrant images of celestial objects with your camera and
the Apertura 2″ LRGB Astrophotography Filter Set! Purpose built for
astrophotography, this set of four filters provides you with premium
full-color performance to capture galaxies and nebulae in vivid detail. If
you’re looking to realize the potential of your monochrome camera, this set
from Apertura is sure to give your astrophotos star-power!
When you’re looking to create detailed and dynamic images, it is no secret
that the increased sensitivity of a monochrome camera can give you a boost;
however if you pair this with standard color filters, your results may not be
as stellar. With the Schott B270 substrate and precision coatings providing an
average max transmission of 98%, this four filter set gives your camera a
crisp and clear view into the stars to help maintain your performance gains
over a one shot color sensor. Precise off-band blocking ensures your color
channels are focused and your luminance is free from the potentially soft
UV/IR wavelengths for sharp, clean, details! With this kit you have all the
filters you need to create compelling color images – red, green, blue,
and a UV/IR luminance filter – in an 2″ threaded filter.
Full Color Imaging: A Closer Look
How can you tell if a filter’s filtering profile will work for your needs?
What should you be looking at when comparing one filter’s specifications to
another? It’s all in the chart! A filter’s transmission chart gives you an
in-depth at what wavelengths of light it is allowing through as well as how
much of the total information on that wavelength is actually reaching your
imaging sensor. While these graphs may seem a bit of an enigma at first, once
you learn what to look for, interpreting is easy! We’ve put together a helpful
guide that will quickly train your eye for these helpful graphs and have you
reading and comparing filter charts in no time. You can find
How to Read a Filter Transmission Chart and Choose a Filter
alongside other guides, reviews, comparisons, and much more, in our

Precise Filtering, Quality Construction, and Widely Compatible
The Apertura 2″ LRGB Astrophotography Filter Set offers excellent filtering
performance and build quality in a form factor that will fit just about any 2″
filter solution on the market!
Fantastic Full Color Photos
To create color images
with a sensor that can only see in monochrome you need the help of filters;
which allow you to capture slices of the light spectrum one at a time and
then combine each of these later into a single image. The Apertura 2″ LRGB
Astrophotography Filter Set contains all the filters you’ll need to create
stunning images of both broadband and narrowband targets alike, with four
filters that give you a full color view of galaxies, stars, and nebulae.
Featuring precision off-band blocking and a
very high average max transmission of 98%, your red, green, and blue
color channels will be bright and well separated; with a high-quality
luminance filter sporting the same impressive blocking and transmittance
that will add that final “pop” to your full spectrum image!
Wide Compatibility
These filters are threaded to fit
the majority of 2″ filter solutions on the market today! For automatic or
remote setups, you can use the Apertura 2″ LRGB Astrophotography Filter Set
with popular filter wheels like the
ZWO 7 Position Electronic Filter Wheel for 2″ Filters
and
QHY CFW3 Medium Color Filter Wheel – 50 mm or 2″ 5 Position – Standard
Thickness. If you’re looking for the most compact solution or one that is more
manual, then ZWO’s
Gen 2 M42 x 0.75 Filter Drawer for 2″ Filters
or the
Askar M54 Filter Drawer
are excellent choices!
High Quality Construction
Each filter in the Apertura
2″ LRGB Astrophotography Filter Set features high-quality components from
the substrate to the coating to ensure excellent imaging performance. The
core of these high quality filters is a Schott B270 substrate, providing
high transmission of on-band wavelengths. Blocking out the off-band
wavelengths with precision blocking is the premium coating, which is durably
bonded with Ion Assisted Deposition (IAD) technology. This is finished to a
λ/4 surface flatness and 60/40 surface quality for a surface that is
as high quality as the coating and substrate! This is all housed in 2″
threaded filter cells with 44 mm of clear aperture and a short 5 mm height,
making this well suited for full-frame or smaller sensors and the vast
majority of filter integration solutions on the market today.
