Thanks for the review. Wish I'd known this was coming. I've been waiting 6 months for a UHC-E clip-in filter for my RP that was finally shipped today. The L-Pro appears to have better balanced transmission.
Super progress! Although, to be fair to your past "you", I find the old image to better reflect natural color (the way "clarkvision" describes it at least). It shows little color at the center of M31, true, but you can still make some yellow and much more clearly the blue in the outer region. Whereas the new image is mostly just yellow, whether the region is yellow or not, in natural color terms. Of course, this is also very subjective too - if one likes more color saturation or not, cares about natural color, how much noise one tolerates, how much post processing one is comfortable with, etc.
the comparison is a little apples to oranges yea? since your processing was improved and definitely better! really good actually on the second image. still, i use a kase neutral night filter, would be convenient to have one that stays in the camera body
Hey Kamil! Thanks for sharing! Look, just one thing though. Wouldn’t be a better test to try this filter on the same target, with the same rig, but in a Bortle class 7-8?
@@kamilkp I meant, the L-Pro is designed to cope with light pollution. To try it on a Bortle class 4, is not a real test (actually I don’t use any LPF in such a Bortle class level). You should try it in a higher Bortle class to see really how good it is, or where its limit are. It’s only a suggestion, of course.
I think I’d probably do what I did: get an R and get it astromodified to end up with essentially an Ra at a much cheaper price. Unless you want that x30 times live view magnification which I personally can live without
Hi Kamil! Great video and great outcome as always. I have an astromodified Canon EOS RP. Can you please tell me which L-eNhance/L-Xtreme filter should I use for my particular camera? Is that a clip-on or it screws on in front of the camera? Also, I have the 300mm Canon lens with a 1.4x TC. Can you kindly explain the autoguiding technique? Can you please include the link for the video with the TC you mentioned? Thanks.
Afaik there are no clip-ins for R series cameras from Optolong. You’d need some kind of adapter which I heard of but never used to be able to use a 2” telescope filter. L-eXtreme would be better if you can find such an adapter
Your cinematography game has certainly gone up. Keep up the good work!
Thanks for noticing 😊
yes..i love astrobackyard clean and neat cinematography videos, now kamil pekala also in my list❤️

Great video again, Kamil! It will be great if you can cover autoguiding and your setup in a separate video.
wow, kamil now a days you're processing are at professional level. If possible make a post processing tutorials
Thanks a lot! I will do more post processing tutorials when I get a new computer - hopefully this or next month!
@@kamilkp That's a great news to hear, congratulations in advance
Very good review, thank you, but I miss the comparison between the Optolong L-Pro and the Astronomic CLS filter as you mentioned in the neginning

Great review! Is this the EOS Ra or did you modify it yourself?
It’s an R, with IR-cut filter removed
Hey Kamil! Thanks for sharing! Look, just one thing though. Wouldn’t be a better test to try this filter on the same target, with the same rig, but in a Bortle class 7-8?
Realistically I think in Bortle 7-8 it’s better to use narrowband filters

Hey good video. Thank you. What camera do you recommend, Canon R or Canon Ra?

Very helpful! Do you have any suggestions regarding what EF lenses would work well for Milkyway imaging on R Series bodies?
I myself use a Sigma 28mm f/1.4 ART with EF mount
Yes I just bought it.

@@kamilkp thanks. But the Pro filter that you are talking about here, is that a clip on?
Yes
Can you use these for street photography?
Nope. Unless you’re going for some crazy stylized effect
Did it really come with a guitar pick? Or does it happen to look like one?
It just looks like one 🤪
@@kamilkp That's incredible lol can't wait to get my hands on this filter! Thank you for the response and awesome video!
really good in delete light pollution with this filter?
Not „delete” but it does help to separate objects in the sky from the light polluted atmosphere
@@kamilkp i saw someolder DSLR, focusing flip all the time on top, won't damage?
