Virtually all other light, from streetlights to moonlight and skyglow, is blocked.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">With this bandwidth, you can photograph emission nebulae with maximum contrast and signal-to-noise ratio, even from downtown. The filter is also optimized against halos: the image remains clean even around bright stars. The 2-inch version (M48) prevents vignetting on large sensors and fits into 2-inch filter holders and photographic adapters.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-gallery has-nested-images columns-3 is-cropped wp-block-gallery-1 is-layout-flex wp-block-gallery-is-layout-flex\"><figure class=\"wp-block-image\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/www.telescoop.nl\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/09\/Optolong-Filters-L-Ultimate-2-.jpg\" alt=\"Optolong L-Ultimate filter 2 inch\" title=\"\"><\/figure><figure class=\"wp-block-image\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/www.telescoop.nl\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/09\/Optolong-Filters-L-Ultimate-2-1.jpg\" alt=\"Optolong L-Ultimate filter 2 inch\" title=\"\"><\/figure><figure class=\"wp-block-image\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/www.telescoop.nl\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/09\/Optolong-Filters-L-Ultimate-2-2.jpg\" alt=\"Optolong L-Ultimate filter 2 inch\" title=\"\"><\/figure><figure class=\"wp-block-image\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/www.telescoop.nl\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/09\/Optolong-Filters-L-Ultimate-2-3.jpg\" alt=\"Optolong L-Ultimate filter 2 inch\" title=\"\"><\/figure><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-columns is-layout-flex wp-container-core-columns-is-layout-8d39b2df wp-block-columns-is-layout-flex\">\n<div class=\"wp-block-column is-layout-flow wp-block-column-is-layout-flow\" style=\"flex-basis:38%\">\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/www.telescoop.nl\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/09\/Optolong-Filters-L-Ultimate-2-1.jpg\" alt=\"Optolong L-Ultimate filter 2 inch\" title=\"\"><\/figure>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-column is-layout-flow wp-block-column-is-layout-flow\" style=\"flex-basis:62%\">\n<h4 class=\"wp-block-heading\">For the discerning image creator<\/h4>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Those who want to take their dual-band work to the highest level will arrive at 3 nm.
