Agena Astro affiliate Cuiv the Lazy Geek recently made this Askar Color Magic filter review:
Askar's new Color Magic C 2" Duo-band filter set is a professional astrophotography tool specifically designed for deep-sky imaging. The Hα+OⅢ Duo-band filter is “C1” and the SⅡ+OⅢ is “C2,” so their combination is the Color Magic C 2" Duo-band filter package.
Using the Color Magic 2” C duo-band filter package can effectively improve the contrast of the image, making it easier to bring out the detailed features of objects that would otherwise be difficult to capture. It'll be able to take high-quality deep-sky images even in areas affected by urban light pollution and other light sources.
When shooting deep-sky galaxies with color cameras, a duo-band filter in the Hα +OⅢ bands is often used; whereas with a mono camera, a narrowband filter in the Hα, SⅡ, and OⅢ bands is often used, leaving users with color cameras missing one band of nebula detail. This can be compensated by using the Colour Magic C2 Duo-band filter (SⅡ+OIII).
Colour Magic C Duo-band filters each have a high transmittance of over 90% at the center wavelengths:
- C1 (Hα+OIII): 500.7nm and 656.6nm
- C2 (SII+OIII): 500.7nm and 672nm
The Color Magic C Duo-band filters can effectively improve the quality of the image by making the sky background of the image darker while maximizing the contrast throughout the image, enhancing the contrast of your pictures, and making it easier to display the details of the stars. In areas with very serious light pollution, these filters can also selectively filter light pollution and cluttered signals through the emission lights of the nebula to achieve the ideal shooting effect.
These filters have a broader passband and are a more economical alternative to Askar's "D" filter set.
Specifications:
- FWHM:
- Ha: 15nm ± 3nm
- SII: 15nm ± 3nm
- OIII: 35nm ± 5nm
- CWL:
- Ha & OIII: 500.7nm & 656.6nm
- SII & OIII: 500.7nm & 672nm
- Peak transmittance: 90%
- Thickness: 2 ± 0.05mm
- Barrier property: ≥OD3 @ 200-1000nm
- Surface finish: 60/40
