For best tri-color CCD imaging results with reflectors, a clear luminance filter should be used in conjunction with the standard red, blue, and green filters. The luminance image in LRGB imaging provides the detail, while the lower resolution color images (often binned 2x2) colorize the detailed luminance image. The Tru-Balance LRBG 2" filter set includes an L (luminance) filter that is both UV and NIR blocked, the same as the RBG filters. This provides better images with refractors and camera lenses that often are not particularly well-corrected in these regions.

However, with reflectors (that are inherently better color-corrected than refracting-type scopes and lenses) most astrophotographers prefer to use a clear filter that is not NIR-blocked, to obtain as much luminance signal as possible in the shortest amount of time. For those astrophotographers who are comfortable using a non-NIR-blocked clear filter, this Astrodon clear filter is parfocal with the Astrodon Tru-Balance RBG filters. It lets you image with reflectors using the RBG filters from the LRBG set that is normally designed for optimum performance with refractors.

This filter is UV-blocked only, and is hard antireflection coated. It has >95% transmittance out to the extent of the CCD detector range, including the NIR region. The 49.7mm diameter filter is supplied with a centering gasket that fits the internal 2" filter wheel of SBIG STL-1001E, STL-1301E, and STL-6303E Research Series CCD cameras.
