No need to travel to a dark sky site when you have the Optolong L-Quad Enhance Filter among your astrophotography gear! This quad-band filter has carefully designed optics to block out annoying light pollution while still allowing an incredible amount of signal from celestial objects onto your color camera’s sensor. Using the innovative Optolong L-Quad Enhance Filter, capture your favorite objects in space, even from the city!
By actively suppressing unwanted wavelengths of light such as those found in mercury and sodium streetlamps, an improvement in detail, color balance, and contrast within your images becomes evident! Allowing emission lines at H-Beta, OIII, H-Alpha, and SII wavelengths, celestial bodies are captured with incredible detail. The Optolong L-Quad Enhance Filter allows a stark contrast from the object in space and the bright background sky. Star clusters, dark nebulae, reflection nebulae, and galaxies can all be imaged from light polluted areas!
Image deep space objects or the Milky Way from home with the Optolong L-Quad Enhance Filter! Take a deeper look into the aspects of the L-Quad Enhance Filter and see why it deserves a place among your astronomy gear.
Light Pollution No More!
Light from street lamps are effective at illuminating our atmosphere, shrouding our view and making it difficult for us to observe objects within space. By carefully crafting their optics, Optolong designed the L-Quad Enhance Filter with light pollution in mind. Actively suppressing the wavelengths from mercury and sodium street lamps allows your camera to ignore light pollution and collect signal from celestial bodies! As you can see in the graph, the wavelengths from light pollution are effectively blocked, while still allowing the wavelengths emitted from objects in space!
Incredible Detail
Designed for color cameras, the Optolong L-Quad Enhance Filter allows the rich signal from celestial bodies in, while cutting ambient light pollution out, allowing for an image that is more saturated, color balanced, and has sharper details. With more than 90% transmittance of the nebula emission lines at H-Beta, OIII, H-Alpha, and SII, the details captured through this filter are unparalleled. Also, with a near IR cut-off to 1000nm, IR noise is greatly diminished!
Optimized Coating
With durability in mind, Optolong crafted the L-Quad Enhance Filter using specialized coatings to protect this quad-band filter from scuffs, scratches, and to improve its sturdiness. Utilizing Ion-assisted deposition coating technology, this carefully designed coating also provides stability on the wavelengths captured when exposed to changes in temperatures, such as the changes in temperature throughout a night of imaging. The Optolong L-Quad Enhance Filter also contains multiple layers of anti-reflective coating, ensuring the images captured remain pristine!

Thank you Laurence, the unit works very well with the speaker arrangement I have and has a clear sound, it has brought new life to these since my amp blew many years ago. Vaughan
