The Optolong L-QEF Quad Enhance 2" filter is designed for astrophotography under light-polluted skies. Featuring a quad-band transmission design, this filter effectively suppresses wavelengths generated by artificial light sources such as mercury and sodium lamps, significantly improving image contrast while maintaining a natural color balance.
Optimized for color cameras, the L-QEF is ideal for both wide-field imaging (such as the Milky Way) and deep-sky astrophotography targeting nebulae, star clusters, and galaxies. Its intelligent bandpass design reduces overall exposure time while preserving detail and color depth.
Advanced Optical Performance
The L-QEF filter delivers over 90% transmission on key nebula emission lines (H-Beta, OIII, H-Alpha, SII), enhancing the signal-to-noise ratio while reducing sky glow. With IR blocking up to 1000 nm, it minimizes infrared interference for improved clarity. Suitable for sky conditions from Bortle 1 to Bortle 7, it outperforms traditional broadband filters in light-polluted environments.
