The newest drop of our Summer of Innovation is our collaboration with IDAS! Our collaborative filters include the Nebula Booster NBZ-II, Dusk to Dawn (DTD), HEUIB-II, and NGS1 (LPS-D3). These filters are meticulously engineered to meet the needs of astrophotographers, offering exceptional performance and image clarity.

In addition to our collaborative filters, we offer a variety of standalone filters tailored for specific astrophotography needs. Our collection includes the Light Pollution filter, UV/IR Cut Hot Mirror, UV/IR Cut H-Alpha Pass, and H Alpha Narrowband (7nm) filter.

Kolari has clip-in filters for RF mount, as well, drop-in filters for the RF to EF adapter.

You can check out all the astrophotography filters here at Kolari.

To take full advantage of these and other astrography or infrared filters, we recommend you get a camera converted to 2 spectrums for this purpose.

Kolari's new filters are described below. Order quickly before they run out of supplies.

Kolari/IDAS – NBZ-II Nebula Booster

The Nebula Booster NBZ-II is a specialized filter designed to enhance deep-sky imaging. With a 10nm H-alpha narrowband and an 8nm OIII narrowband, this filter provides superior contrast and detail for capturing nebulae and galaxies. Unlike competitive 7nm or narrower filters that lose significant transmittance in fast optical systems (around F2), the NBZ-II maintains 80% or more transmittance under the same conditions.

Kolari/IDAS – DTD (Dusk To Dawn)

The Dusk to Dawn (DTD) filter is the next-generation light pollution filter with an included IR transmission area. It works exceptionally well with full-spectrum cameras, passing the same wavelengths of Ha and OIII regions, and also bands with comet ion tails. This makes it an excellent choice for both deep-sky and comet photography.

Kolari/IDAS – HEUIB-II UVIR Cut Red Corrected Hα

The HEUIB-II filter is designed to block unwanted wavelengths while allowing the transmission of critical H-alpha, H-beta, and O-III lines. This filter is similar to the UV/IR Cut H-Alpha Pass filter used in our astro modifications but with reduced excess red signal, making it ideal for enhancing the visibility of emission and reflection nebulae.

Kolari/IDAS – NGS1 (LPS-D3) Night Glow Suppression 

The NGS1 (LPS-D3) is an upgraded light pollution suppression filter that excels in both urban and rural environments. It effectively suppresses both man-made lights and natural night glow, significantly improving the clarity and contrast of deep-sky objects.
