New NBX filter - exchange program

[tooth_dr]

This is of interest to me as I have one on back order.  Apparently they are accepting back the current batch of filters and exchanging for new improved versions. There was a statement from Ted Ishikawa. Anyone heard anything?

Is there anything wrong with the current batch? I got one from FLO at the end of November and it appears to be doing what is says on the tin. It has a wider band pass than the Optolong L- extreme but that is an advantage for use on the RASA8.

Haloes apparently. New one minimises them?

Oh good I hope this is true, mine is terrible for Halos. I'll email my supplier!

Great thanks, I’ll ask my shop to exchange with a new version when they’re available.

100% true, hope the halos are improved.

Found this option for attaching an NBX filter (seems to be unmounted) to a RASA 8:

It now struck me that I have seen diffuse halo rings around bright red stars with the NBX filter. They were easily fixed in PS so I forgot about them but they are probably what Hutech talks about. The image is a crop of a small corner area and I had a bit of tilt to deal with as can be seen in the stars.
