Review on Astromania Telescope LRGB Inch Filter by Michael Hughes

Revainrating 3 out of 5

Green filter produces triangular stars

Having finally had time to use these filters I have to say they work very well. Except for the green filter. For some reason the green filter gives me triangular stars. After some research I found out that it was the pinched look. All other filters work great and I am very happy with them. However, the inability to use a green filter makes true color imaging very difficult. It took some time to make sure that the problem is actually with the filter. But that's really a problem. I tried loosening the filter in its mount and making sure it was clean. Unfortunately, it's just useless. I love Astromania and have had good luck with their products. Just make sure you pass all your filters well when you get them :)

Pros
  • Combining individual images captured with these filters produces higher resolution and amazing colors. The red, blue and green filters as well as the brightness filter that eliminates haze deliver amazing results.
Cons
  • Ugly packaging
