*PREORDER* Optolong L-Synergy Dual-Narrow Band Filter- 2"

Optolong L-Synergy dual-narrow band filter FWHM7nm

Optolong L-Synergy‌ is a dual 7nm narrowband filter compatible with DSLR cameras, color CMOS sensors, and CCD cameras, supporting telescope systems with F-ratio of F3.3 or above (slower system）. Its key advantage lies in enabling astrophotography amateurs to capture exceptionally detailed emission nebulae even in light-polluted environments. it has been optimized to minimize bright star halos while isolating all emission lines except SII and OIII, achieving maximum effective transmission.

O‌potlong L-Synergy‌ is a dual 7nm narrowband filter compatible with DSLR cameras, color CMOS sensors, and CCD cameras, supporting telescope systems with F-ratio of F3.3 or above (slower system）. Its key advantage lies in enabling astrophotography amateurs to capture exceptionally detailed emission nebulae even in light-polluted environments.

After years of technical refinement, it has been optimized to minimize bright star halos while isolating all emission lines except SII and OIII, achieving maximum effective transmission.

Key Features:

Optolong L-Synergy's advantage lies in its selective transmission of only the nebula emission lines OIII (500.7nm) and SII (672.4nm), while blocking all other light-polluting emission lines. This ensures that only the signals from oxygen and sulfur elements are captured during imaging, resulting in a darker sky background and significantly enhanced contrast and signal-to-noise ratio (SNR) between nebulae.

Even in heavily light-polluted areas, this filter selectively transmits nebula emission lines while filtering out light pollution, ultimately eliminating its impact on astrophotography.

2.Optical Design

By analyzing the spectral characteristics of both celestial emission lines and light pollution, L-Synergy selectively preserves the SII and OIII nebula colors while filtering out the majority of light pollution. Specifically designed and optically optimized, L-Synergy maintains consistently high transmission across both SII and OIII bands. This ensures users can precisely capture the target nebula emissions, delivering optimal astrophotography results.

*We will continue to optimize the product based on test results. This curve does not represent final product specifications.

Test with the new Optolong L-sinergy filter, a 7nm S2 O3 dual-band filter, and I have to say I really liked it.
I chose to photograph WR134 in the constellation Cygnus.
Having shot in monochrome, which usually results in a significant amount of signal with an H-alpha filter, the O3 is there, but sometimes I have to integrate a lot to bring it out; the S2 isn't there at all. So I thought, ‘There won't be all that much signal; to take a decent photo, I'll have to integrate a lot,’ and that's why I took 200 5-minute shots.
Once I'd processed the photo, I found it came out of the WBPP without gradients or halos, but above all, bicolour, meaning full of S2 and lots and lots of O3, and I find this wonderful. I didn't have to do anything else in processing except stretch the image, balance contrast, highlights, and tones to customise it a bit, but in the end, it was already like this in the raw file.
This filter greatly simplifies post-production.
I'll also show you the Starless Nebula to help you understand the signal and the O3 it produces.
More shots of this new filter will follow soon.
