| Filter: |
| Hutech IDAS LPS P2 2" Light Pollution Suspression Filter |
I think the IDAS LPS P2 is the best all-purpose contrast-filter for any cameratype. Very balanced colors.
It is possible to let the filter always in the optical system to supress light pollution.
|
| Hutech IDAS LPS NB1 2" Nebula Filter for Astrophotography |
This Filter has an stronger stray light suppression than the LPS-P2 (Exposure time extension ist factor 3)
Let H-beta, [O III], C2 (partially) and H-alpha through.
This filter seems to work very good for nebulas. Galaxies and stars tend to turn a little bit to red.
|
| Hutech IDAS LPS D1 2" + EOS-Clip Light Pollution Suspression Filter |
The IDAS LPS D1 is nearly identical to the IDAS LPS P2. The IDAS LPS D1 allows a 2x extension of the exposure time.90% of the important lines in the deep-sky range (like H-alpha and [O III]) are transmitted.
|
| Baader Skyglow-Filter 1 1/4" & 2" |
The Skyglow Neodymium-Filter is a moderate all-purpose contrast-filter for any cameratype. Colorshifts to red are good to handle.
It is possible to let the filter always in the optical system. Sometime it helps, sometime not, but is never a problem.
|
| Lumicon Deepsky 2" |
All-purpose Nebula filter and also good against light pollution. It blocks all high & low pressure mercury
and sodium vapor lamp light, neon lights and airglow.
Good to handle with astromodified Cameras. Difficult with normal Cameras (missing IR, Colorshift to blue/turquise)
|
| Astronomik OIII 2" |
Classical O-III-Nebula-Filter (passfrom 494 to 506nm)
|
| Astronomik L-2 UV IR Blockfilter - Clip-Filter for Canon EOS |
IR/UV-blocking filter for Canon EOS (APS-C)
|
| 2 x Astronomics IR-Filter 1 1/4" |
IR-blocking filter for webcams, Meade DSI etc.
|
| Baader Lowpass-IR-Filter 1 1/4" |
blocks nearly the complete spectrum of visible light. It is useful for planets with webcams
|
| Celestron Yellow-Filter 1 1/4" |
more contrast for the moon

8" Meade LX90 Schmidt Cassegrain with original Mount+Wedge
Thi classical Configuration of the Meade LX90 was used to take pictures from the blood-moon in 2018. As Camera I used the Canon 600Da. This was the last time I use the original Meade-mount for the LX90. Later I used the LX90 only on the LXD75-mount.
The original equatorial mount with wedge (needed for photography) is very difficult to adjust and align.
