Hi Group, I have the Astronomik LRGB type 2 filters with built in IR. These filters are suppose to be parafocal and I find when using focusmax with robofocus I...
Hi Chris ! What kind of telescope do you use?? If you have any refracting elements in your system you MUST refocus with all filters. CS Gerd ... [Non-text...
It's fairly common for "parfocal" filters to not quite be exactly parfocal. The faster your focal ratio, the more likely this is. Ron Wodaski The New CCD...

Hi Chris ! ... Our filters should be parfocal at the C9.25 when you use it without additional reducers or something like this. But even if you William´s is an...

To all, For what it's worth, I have Astronomik type II LRGB and probably the most focus sensitive scope out there, the f3.3 Epsilon. I have found them to be...
Hi Don and group, ... I do not understand the meaning behind this. I do not remember any email that I wrote about thickness variations of our filters. ...
Dear Chris & list, ... We use a 500 Euro measuring device that allows the filters to be measured in cell. Otherwise you need to unmount the filters and use a ...
Hi, Eddie, The design for the 1.25" 2000XM filters and the 2" STL11000 is done. The focus right now is for the Kodak full-frame CCDs (ST7-10) and once...
Hi All, When it comes to filters, especially LPR filters, the more I read trying to select the right one and not make an expensive mistake the more confused by...
I find the IDAS filter to be the best solution to LP for imaging. As far as PR filters, I will have to see what some of the other group members feels as I...
Hi Kevin, Thanks tons for your reply! IDAS sounds familiar but I don't recall from where, I'll search & find it. If you happen to know of a place to find them...
I like the IDAS, and the Astronomik OIII. Both can be used for imaging, although the latter with ccd. For source, I would recommend AVA at Astrovid.com, as...

Jodi, This isn't what you asked for, but I'll give you my thoughts. There are many sites to describe and compare various filters and their use. Through study...
