When I first used my Antlia ALP-T and the first sub poped up on the screen I was in awe. I couldn't believe my eyes. First night I went for Tarantula then Dolphin SH2-308. Considering all the investments I have made to that point (~3k usd) the extra 380 usd was the the best upgrade I made. A game changer.

@@AstroOnbudget what I can say about the cost difference is that the extra cost for the really expensive one is worth. For me it came down to "if I buy the cheaper one I'll buy twice". Some pieces of gear are worth spending the extra money. Bu I don't buy brand, I buy specs. In my case I have a svbony 405cc which is the SAME as asi294. The sames goes for the Sky Rover 102 triplet which uses the same optics as more expensive rebranded models in US and Europe but they come from the same assembly line. Keep it up! I really enjoy your content. Cheers from Brazil

Great review! I was looking into this filter for my DSLR. You think you can do a this vs that review video between SVBony vs the Optolong filter? It's crazy because I have both an Optolong and SVBony UHC filter and I always prefer the SVBony. They are making their way up the "budget" astro community.

Would love to do a review comparing them. I personally prefer Svbony stuff because its not that expensive and seems to work great for me. Its funny isn't when cheap one performers better.

Interesting review I know with some filters they can be a bit of a lottery as some being better than others or regarding halos so it will be good to see how these fair over time.

Thanks Jeremiah - very helpful video. My first question is: can I use this with my unmodified/stock DSLR camera (Canon EOS T5) ? My second question is: I've only used a clip-in filter (CLS) and also have a field flattener on my Canon, so for this style filter, does this filter get screwed on to the front of the FF ? I’m in a B8-9, so I can use all the help I can get.
@AstroOnbudget Жыл бұрын
Hey Eric. Great to hear from you. I think it will work with EOS T5. However, you might need longer exposures compared to CLS filters. But I think it would work fine. To your second question, I often thread this on top of my flatterer and that works well. Alternatively, you could get 2" T ring if you want to thread it without the flattener. You are doing a great job! Keep on the good work.

can this filter be used for Andromeda galaxy?

Thats not recommended because Andromeda is a broadband target. So you would cut out a lot of light of the target. This is for Nebula.

Can't platesolve with this filter in place. Not enough stars despite playing with exposure and gain settings.. If platesolving without the filter there's no problem. When putting the filter in afterwards Not enough stars are picked up to stack the images. Bit of a chicken egg situation that can't be solved. Can't understand why everyone loves this filter.

@mastroitek Жыл бұрын
@@MariuszStaniek yeah it is great when ppl just express their opinion without giving the slightest explanation. Anyway, I think that both SV220 and l-enhance have somewhat similar performance, so if you are coming from a basic setup (no filter/light pollution filter/optolong l-pro) both filters will result in a huge step forward (I went myself from l-pro to l-enhance on a modified EOS 2000d). But my suggestion is not only to look at the best performer but also at possible drawbacks of each filter, for instance in the video is clearly said that the SV220 creates a slight star-halo, for me that is a big no-no, though you might not mind or you might be willing do deal with it in postprocessing. I personally love the results I get with the l-enhance and even with 5min exposure on regions with extremely bright stars (like Orion) I have never seen the slightest trace of a halo around such stars. (using a Zenithstar Z61). But consider that different setup and telescopes can influence a filter's performance. Besides that, also consider on which camera you plan to use it, an aggressive filter (like the sv220 or l-extreme) will block huge amounts of light (which is great for S/N ratio), but also means that your camera will receive less information compared to other, less aggressive filters, this ultimately should result in more background noise in the dark regions, this could pose a problem with older DSLRs that have high background noise. In general, don't overthink it, both filters do a great job and in case you have a simple setup both will most likely result in a massive boost in picture quality.

That's how all narrowband filters work. They cut out a lot of light which makes it difficult to platesolve.
