Thank you for explaining the differences between filters. I was wondering why the CLS-CCD is more expensive than the CLS. Almost bought the cheaper one, but lucky to guessed that the CLS-CCD is what I needed. My Nikon D810 is getting Astromodified, so the correct filter was the one I correctly ordered.
@AstroBlender thank you for the review. Have you tried wide-field images with the filter and a normal lens? Does that make much of a difference in the result at the same settings in reducing light pollution? That would be something I would be interested in doing, if I bought one.
@@AstroBlender Hi, I like the precision in your reviews. Another favorite is your review of the Explore Scientific David H. Levy Comet Hunter, a scope that I happen to own. I think it was a much better scope than it got credit for and your review proved the point.
Yeah the Comet Hunter is a sweet scope. Not only does it perform great, but it looks great too. My only beef is that the dew shield cell is too shallow so it doesn't sit all the way on the telescope. That is a minor complaint though for an amazing telescope. Thanks again!
@@AstroBlender Not to keep this going for too long, but...you're right about the dew shield. The other problem is that it was a little too complex for a newcomer like I was back then, and a little too long for easy portability. But these are minor quibbles. It's too bad that it is no longer in production.
I have got cls ccd filter, I am going to remove IR filter from the sensor so will it work for me this filter? i am about to sold it because of the fact that with unmodified camera I am unable to use it because it is horrible.
Great video. I had a question: the CLS-CCD filter from astronomik says this: 92-percent transmission at 486 nm (H-beta) 92-percent transmission at 496 nm (OIII) 92-percent transmission at 501 nm (OIII) 97-percent transmission at 656 nm (H-alpha) Does this mean I don't need to use dedicated narrowband filters such as Ha and OIII? Also when using the pro-planet filters do I still need to take photos/video without the filter and then stack them and process them in PS or just using the IR filter is good for planets?
I have this filter... my two canon EF-S lenses ( 18-55 and 24mm gran angular) aren't compatible with this filter... compatible lens are lenses EF mount for full frame cameras.. ex: canon 70-300. Tamron 70-210 for full frame is compatible.. take care with this, because 70-210 have a version "EF" for APC-S and this is equals to EF-S mount....
There is a lot you did not cover. Does the camera have to be modified for the filters? Can I use them with a t ring and prime focus adapter? What about lenses other than canons?
Hey great explanation !!! I’m using an Astronomik filter on my Canon EOS Ra + 15-35 mm lens at f2.8, 45 images of 90 seconds, ISO 4000, 30mm, 15 flats, 15 darks & 15 bias, all of the were stacked in Deep Sky Stacker, and I got a super red image, the pinpointed stars are there but is so red the image. As a matter of fact all the light and flat frames are completely red, can you tell me which is the way to process those red images in Photoshop. Thank you.
DSLR cameras have a filter that cuts out most of the Hydrogen alpha wavelength and above. If you use the CLS-CCD filter, it includes an IR block filter. If your camera is not modified a normal CLS filter works well, but you have to have relatively long exposures to significantly pick up the reds.
God damn i got EFS 55-250 just the other day , lucky me . Can i instead put a CLS filter on my Sensor , ive looked around and all Sensor mounted Filters are Narrow Band and such , and i dont want that im yet to photograph the sky with basic gear , no point doing narow band without even having most of the sky photographed already , you want to have room for upgrade .Narrow band is pretty much it , you stuck after that with no upgrade option
Those two images of Orion nebula were definitely taken with different optics and probably even in different "seeing" conditions. Why would you do that? It makes me believe that your review is biased
It is really a great filter. Great Review Slymin!

Muchas gracias por tu explicación! Un saludo desde Argentina 🤗

THank you so much for the explaining. Does that filter work for EOS 70D? And I guess that you have removed the IR-cut filter inside the camera, right?
What about the t ring adapter, will it go on with the filter in, thanks for video
Wow amazing details. So your canon was full spectrum modified?
They are also, very useful when you want to use High Speed Sync, but don't have that capability, because the filter helps you get around the need!
Great review, very helpful for those getting into Astrophotography. You did a great job, lucid as with your other reviews.
Thanks!

Agreed. It is definitely a hidden little gem. Especially for the prices you can find them for now a days.
Is there an adapter you can buy so that EF-S lenses are able to be used?
Excellent video! I’m working on my astrophotography in Bortle 4 or 5 skies and think this could help me with with light pollution problem.
Late Night Astronomy Oh yes, for sure!
Hi ,do you have any good solution if I have an EF-S lens?
I have got cls ccd filter, I am going to remove IR filter from the sensor so will it work for me this filter? i am about to sold it because of the fact that with unmodified camera I am unable to use it because it is horrible.
What is the lovebird called? Can he be at the end of the next video?
excellent filter, i'm planning to get one for me Cannon camera

That’s cool can you please put the link of the astronomik CLS clip in filter on eBay or amazon
My m50 camera scratch on the sensor that's appear on photo and video, please have any solution!!!
Do you know if these clip in filters will work on a Canon EOS camera with other brand lenses like Rokinon or Tamron?
I have this filter... my two canon EF-S lenses ( 18-55 and 24mm gran angular)
aren't compatible with this filter... compatible lens are lenses EF mount for full frame cameras.. ex: canon 70-300. Tamron 70-210 for full frame is compatible.. take care with this, because 70-210 have a version "EF" for APC-S and this is equals to EF-S mount....

How do you remove the blue tinting from the filter? I end up ruining the color of the image trying to get rid of the blue
Do you think this filter would work for Milky Way photography in a light polluted area as well?
Would the Rokinon 14mm work fine?
I'm slightly confused though. How can you take a 90 second exposure without getting star trails?
Thanks for the video!
Star tracker
@@alphaphotoandvideo fml.... Another gadget I need to look into xD
What canon camera did you use to take these exposures? Looks great
Do I have to modify my camera and use the filters or can I use the filter with out the modifications and still getting a decent pictures?
DSLR cameras have a filter that cuts out most of the Hydrogen alpha wavelength and above. If you use the CLS-CCD filter, it includes an IR block filter. If your camera is not modified a normal CLS filter works well, but you have to have relatively long exposures to significantly pick up the reds.
Is there any clear version. To keep my sensor clean?
Yes, they sell an "Astronomik MC-Clear" filter.
@@AstroBlender thank you 👍
Mine is super loose in my 60D. Kinda disappointed
God damn i got EFS 55-250 just the other day , lucky me .

Is your camera modified?
sodium and mercury vapour lights are being removed for the brighter white LEDS....no filters for these though.
