Optolong CLS-CCD Filter
2 inch

The Optolong CLS-CCD (City Light Suppression) broadband filter is designed to improve the visibility of emission deep sky objects.

Different from the Optolong CLS filter, the Optolong CLS-CCD cuts off the infrared radiation between 700-1100nm (IR/UV Cut). It works with astronomy cameras and modified DSLR's for astrophotography.

It selectively reduces the transmission of wavelengths of artificial light, specifically those produced by mercury vapour lamps, both high and low pressure sodium vapour lights and the unwanted natural light caused by neutral oxygen emission in our atmosphere (i.e. skyglow). The high transmission in the main nebula emission lines at OIII (496nm and 500nm), H-beta (486nm), NII (654nm and 658nm), H-alpha (656nm) as well as SII (672nm) enhances the contrast and details for both visual and photographic purposes in sub-rural areas. Compared to the UHC filter, the CLS has a wider bandpass so it is preferred in areas with mild to moderate light pollution.
  • It blocks the artificial light from mercury vapour lamps, both high and low pressure sodium vapour lights and the unwanted natural light caused by neutral oxygen emission in our atmosphere (i.e. skyglow).
  • Maximum transmission of the main nebula emission lines: OIII (496nm and 500nm), H-beta (486nm), NII (654nm and 658nm), H-alpha (656nm) as well as SII (672nm)
  • It can also be used for visual observations as well as in astrophotography.
  • Ideal for sub-rural areas with moderate light pollution.
  • It incorporates an IR/UV-Cut filter that is necessary in astrophotography, especially for astronomy cameras that are sensitive to the infrared radiation.
  • Ultra-thin filter cell to maximise the compatibility with most filter wheels.
  • Multi-layers anti-reflection coating.
  • Cell in Aerometal Material, CNC machined, sand blasted, black anodized and laser engraved.
  • Plastic PP Case, high pressure EVA Case Lining.
