Le résultat est un filtre qui n'entraîne aucune dégradation de l'image, contrairement aux autres filtres. Pour éviter la détérioration due au nettoyage ou à l'exposition à l'humidité, certains autres filtres ont même recours à la prise en sandwich de leurs revêtements délicats entre deux couches de verre filtrant, ce qui peut entraîner des images floues ou doubles. La combinaison de revêtements durcis et d'un substrat optique fin du Baader UHC-S évite cette dégradation de l'image. Une perception erronée courante est que l'observation du ciel profond est limitée à de faibles puissances et que la résolution de l'image n'est pas aussi importante que dans l'observation planétaire. En réalité, les grossissements élevés sont très courants et utiles pour étudier les détails fins, en particulier pour les nébuleuses diffuses et planétaires plus brillantes. Les filtres Baader UHC-S peuvent prendre des grossissements élevés et les étoiles conservent leur netteté, même si le filtre est utilisé loin devant le plan de l'image (c'est-à-dire pour une utilisation en imagerie, ou devant une diagonale en étoile ou une binoculaire). Les filtres Baader répondent aux exigences d'un filtre idéal - pour effectuer leur filtration avec une efficacité maximale sans aucun autre effet détectable sur l'image.

polyvalents disponibles pour l'astrophotographie et l'observation visuelle. Conçu avec une technologie multi-bande passe-haut avancée, il réduit sélectivement les effets de l'éclairage artificiel, comme les lampes à vapeur de mercure et de sodium, tout en préservant les couleurs naturelles des étoiles et des objets du ciel profond. Contrairement aux filtres à bande étroite agressifs qui limitent le choix de la cible, le L-Pro atteint un équilibre délicat\u0026nbsp;: il supprime la lumière indésirable sans compromettre le réalisme des couleurs.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003ePour les astrophotographes travaillant dans des zones soumises à une pollution lumineuse modérée à forte, l'Optolong L-Pro est souvent l'un des premiers filtres que nous recommandons. Il offre une amélioration notable du contraste et des détails sans les inconvénients des variations de couleurs artificielles. Que vous photographiiez des galaxies en large bande ou des nébuleuses en émission, le L-Pro offre des résultats constants et de haute qualité.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c!-- image text --\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"DAV-section-container\"\u003e\u003c!-- Text Section --\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"DAV-section-text\"\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eSuppression de la pollution lumineuse\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eLe filtre L-Pro est efficace en réduisant sélectivement la transmission de longueurs d'onde spécifiques associées à la pollution lumineuse artificielle, notamment les lampes à vapeur de mercure, à vapeur de sodium haute et basse pression. De plus, il atténue la lumière naturelle indésirable causée par l'émission d'oxygène neutre, source de la luminescence nocturne. Parallèlement, le filtre L-Pro maintient une transparence élevée sur les principales raies d'émission des nébuleuses\u0026nbsp;: H-alpha (656\u0026nbsp;nm), OIII (496\u0026nbsp;nm et 500\u0026nbsp;nm), H-bêta (486\u0026nbsp;nm) et SII (672\u0026nbsp;nm). Ce profil de transmission précis améliore le contraste et les détails, ce qui en fait un filtre idéal pour les applications d'imagerie et de visualisation haut de gamme en environnements périurbains et urbains.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c!-- Image Section --\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"DAV-section-img\"\u003e\u003cimg alt=\"Comparaison Optolong L-Pro\" src=\"https:\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0753\/5280\/1565\/files\/Optolong-L-Pro-comparison.jpg?v=1756067242\"\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c!-- image text --\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"DAV-section-container\"\u003e\u003c!-- Text Section --\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"DAV-section-text\"\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eVéritable équilibre des couleurs\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eL'un des atouts majeurs de l'Optolong L-Pro est son profil de transmission équilibré. Ce filtre présente un très faible taux de réduction de transmission pour les objets célestes à large bande passante. Cette propriété lui confère une efficacité exceptionnelle pour supprimer la pollution lumineuse sans impacter significativement les caractéristiques spectrales naturelles d'objets tels que les galaxies et les nébuleuses par réflexion. C'est une caractéristique essentielle pour l'astrophotographie, qui exige une reproduction fidèle des couleurs, garantissant ainsi aux images un aspect naturel avec un post-traitement minimal.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eBlocage UV et IR\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eLa conception du filtre L-Pro supprime intrinsèquement les longueurs d'onde ultraviolettes (UV) et infrarouges (IR). Cette fonctionnalité simplifie le flux d'imagerie en éliminant le besoin d'un filtre anti-IR distinct, ce qui permet de l'utiliser pour l'imagerie du canal «\u0026nbsp;L\u0026nbsp;» (luminance) avec les caméras CMOS. Cette capacité de blocage complète garantit que la lumière parasite provenant des deux extrémités du spectre visible n'interfère pas avec l'image finale.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c!-- Image Section --\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"DAV-section-img\"\u003e\u003cimg alt=\"Graphique de transmission Optolong L-Pro\" src=\"https:\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0753\/5280\/1565\/files\/Optolong-L-Pro-Transmission-Graph.png?v=1756067243\"\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"DAV-section-container\"\u003e\u003c!-- Text Section --\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"DAV-section-text\"\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003ePour l'imagerie et l'utilisation visuelle\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eBien qu'optimisé pour l'astrophotographie, le L-Pro profite également aux observateurs visuels, offrant des arrière-plans plus sombres et un contraste amélioré lors de la visualisation sous un ciel urbain ou suburbain.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c!-- Image Section --\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"DAV-section-img\"\u003e\u003cimg alt=\"Filtre L-Pro installé sur l'oculaire\" src=\"https:\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0753\/5280\/1565\/files\/Optolong-L-Pro-on-Eyepiece.png?v=1756067242\"\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"DAV-section-container\"\u003e\u003c!-- Text Section --\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"DAV-section-text\"\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eDisponible sous forme de filtres à clipser pour appareils photo reflex numériques et sans miroir\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eDisponible dans des tailles courantes (1,25\", 2\" et formats clipsables pour appareils photo reflex numériques), il s'intègre parfaitement aux télescopes, réfracteurs et objectifs d'appareil photo.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eOptions de clipsage\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eCanon EOS APS-C\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eCanon EOS plein format\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eCanon EOS R*\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eNikon plein format\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eSony plein format\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e*En raison des particularités des appareils photo Canon R, des bandes sombres verticales peuvent apparaître sur les deux bords lors de l'utilisation d'un filtre interférentiel.

monochromes. Sa conception spectrale retient l'information la plus significative des bandes RGB, ce qui permet au filtre Antlia Triband RGB Ultra de photographier plus de 90% des objets du ciel profond. En plus de ses excellentes performances sur les nébuleuses en émission, il se distingue des autres filtres ultra-étroits : il capte les galaxies, les nébuleuses par réflexion et les amas d'étoiles d'un site Bortle 8 jusqu'à Bortle 1, tout en restituant des couleurs RGB plus équilibrées dans vos images. Sa bande passante large est par ailleurs conçue pour les optiques rapides jusqu'à un rapport focal de f\/2. \u003cbr\u003eL'efficacité quantique du canal B des capteurs CMOS actuels est souvent nettement inférieure à celle des canaux R et G. L'équipe Antlia voulait offrir un filtre au rendu des couleurs plus réaliste pour l'astrophotographie depuis des sites pollués. Le problème de la faible efficacité dans le bleu devient évident lorsqu'on photographie des nébuleuses par réflexion et des étoiles bleues. Dans les capteurs CMOS, les longueurs d'onde bleues reçoivent aussi une contribution du spectre vert, plus intense, ce qui fausse l'équilibre des bleus. De nombreux objets populaires contiennent des nébuleuses par réflexion aux faibles teintes bleues, comme la partie centrale de NGC2264. Nous avons donc conçu le filtre Antlia Triband RGB Ultra pour qu'il conserve le signal d'émission HSO tout en augmentant le flux lumineux du canal bleu B. En améliorant la transmission dans le bleu, les couleurs de la photo sont mieux équilibrées et plus faciles à gérer au traitement.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"DAV-section-img\"\u003e\u003cimg alt=\"Filtre Antlia Triband RGB Ultra V2\" src=\"https:\/\/davidastro.com\/cdn\/shop\/products\/ANT-TRI-RGB-2__19119.1677769060.1280.1280_936x936.jpg\"\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eAntlia Filtre Triband RGB Ultra V2\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003ctable class=\"DAV-specifications\"\u003e\n\u003ctbody\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eLongueurs d'onde\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eHa 656.3nm, NII 654.8\/658.3nm, SII 671.6\/673.1nm, OIII 495.9\/500.7nm, Hβ 486.1nm\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eTransmission maximale\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u0026gt;92% (Ha, NII, SII, OIII, Hβ)\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eBlocage\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e≥ OD4 (300-1050nm)\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eConception de la monture\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eUltra-mince et anodisée noir pour réduire les reflets\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003c\/tbody\u003e\n\u003c\/table\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cul class=\"DAV-grid\"\u003e\n\u003cli class=\"DAV-grid-item\"\u003e\n\u003cimg class=\"DAV-img-box\" alt=\"HaOIII\" src=\"https:\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0753\/5280\/1565\/files\/antlia-filter-3nm-ha-oiii-antlia-alp-t-dual-band-highspeed-3nm-ha-oiii-3-5nm-sii-hb-2-mounted-filters-42550623338715_1024x_67b5496f-f728-4fd1-b82a-563e5e8c9962.webp?v=1733252057\"\u003e\n\u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"DAV-item-title\"\u003eFiltre Antlia Triband RGB Ultra V2\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"DAV-item-subtitle\"\u003e× 1\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e","brand":"Antlia","offers":[{"title":"2\" Monté","offer_id":44968075231517,"sku":"ANT-TRIBAND-V2","price":254.0,"currency_code":"CAD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0753\/5280\/1565\/products\/ANT-TRI-RGB-2__19119.1677769060.1280.1280.jpg?v=1684348732"},{"product_id":"antlia-quad-band-light-pollution-filter-2","title":"Antlia Filtre Quad Band anti-pollution lumineuse - 2\"","description":"\u003c!-- more --\u003e\n\u003cp data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eLe filtre anti-pollution lumineuse Antlia Quad Band est un filtre de suppression de lumière pour les caméras couleur et monochromes.

Its balanced, multi-bandpass design keeps the natural colors of broadband targets such as galaxies, reflection nebulae and globular clusters, so images need far less color correction.
