Do any of my fellow Celestron Origin users have any filter recommendations? I have the Celestron Nebula filter but I am wondering if there are any other filters I should consider. Any information is appreciated!
Filter recommendations for Celestron Origin users beyond the Nebula filter?
Well Written Respectful Engaging
Erny, depends on what you’re wanting to accomplish. To replace the nebula filter? The Antlia Triband and Optilong L-Extreme perform essentially the same with slight difference in their narrowband passage. The filter I’ve added is the Optilong UV/IR Cut for me I like it on galaxies and faint reflection nebulae. Other options are either the Askar C1/C2 or D1/D2 Askar's newly launched Colour Magic C 2" Duo-band filter is a professional astrophotography tool specifically designed for deep-sky imaging. We name the Hα+OⅢ Duo-band filter “C1”, and the SⅡ+OⅢ as “C2”, so their combination is the Colour Magic C 2" Duo-band filter package. I’ve noticed a few people in Origin facebook groups that have used them. But I haven’t. I’ll ask a friend who has used many of these and what he prefers. Good luck, and clear skies!
Hi Bob, thank you do much for the information! I had my eye on the Optilong L-Extreme but came to the same conclusion- it seems to do the same thing as I already have.
I’m definitely going to look into the Colour Magic options- thanks again!

Good luck Erny , I’ll be looking forward to your review of whatever you decide !!
FYI: What ever filter you shop for it has to be designed for the F2.2 RASA optics or it may not work. The narrower the filter bandpass the more careful
you have to be.
you have to be.

Hi, I am setting up a WO Pleiades 111 to go to Starfront. I am using a ZWO Asi2600 MC Duo. I have two filters, a Quad BP, and a LPS-C1. Basically one for galaxies and one for nebulae. Because the scope will be remote, I have a 5 position filter wheel...

Advice on duo-band filter selection for astrophotography setup
Hi, I am looking to expand my astrophotography setup with a duo-band filter. Well, possibly two depend on how the pricing goes. I’m looking to have my feel-pinions validated and possibly a correction from someone who knows what they’re talking about....

Optolong L-PRO and SC8
Hello, I am looking to purchase a broadband filter with my SC8 to improve further my acquisition data. I was wondering if anyone is using it with an SC8 shooting at F10 or if you use it with a focal reducer (celestron or starizona). If you have any e...
