Sightron New Dual Bandpass Filter

Sightron’s new filter is scheduled to come up this April. The key features are

  • Reducing red color cast at the corners
  • Natural RGB color balance

See the following comparison test. 1st test image will likely look very familiar when taken with the astronomy-modified consumer cameras.

ToupTek D60 + Modified Canon 6D + White LED flat panel

Since modified cameras tend to exhibit strong red color cast, this filter is optimized for such use.

The red color cast at the edges is minimal, making subsequent image processing much easier.

I will also publish the results obtained using a dedicated astronomy color camera at a later date.
