Dominic,
Posted on May 28, 2008 10:57 AM Will the VBRI filter set be compatible with the Orion Filter Wheel? ****The VBRI set uses the same 1.25" filter holders that the Astrodon LRGB and Narrowband filters use that fit in SBIG, TruTech and other filter wheels. If, for example, Lumicon filters screw into the Orion CFW OK, then I believe the VBR will as well. Don |

Brian Clements,
Posted on July 10, 2008 4:17 AM I have recently purchased a pre-loved SBIG ST200 with CF-8 filter wheel loaded (I am told) with Astrodon Ha,Clear, R,G and B filters. Can you advise the passband of the Ha filter please. **"Pre-Loved"!! The filter should be labeled on the side with the FWHM. If it is more than a year old, it will have the 6 nm H-a. 5 nm narrowband filters started shipping ~October, 2007. Don |

Bob Benward,
Posted on September 17, 2008 6:55 AM Hi Don, Is there any point in attempting to use LRGB filters with a DSLR in a monochrome mode? Am I wasting my time due to the integral RGB filters? I am just getting into astrophotography with DSLRs (did the film bit), stacking and learning about dark frames etc, just wondering if using filters necessitates a dedicated monochrome camera. My educated guess is that I would be wasting my time, even if I remove the photopic filter on the CCD. Is sticking to color images with dark frames the way to go until I graduate to a monochrome sensor? Thanks, Bob |
