What 'L' filter are people using?

[AndrewRrrrrr]

Just been thinking that I haven't really lavished much attention to what L filter I'm using. What do people use and do they rate them?

I've got a mono camera (AA183M) and have the usual set of LRBGHSO filters in a 1.25" EFW. Am in a bortle 4/5 area.

For the L filter i'm using Altair Astro UV/IR block filter.  Not necessarily think it's underperforming but interested in other more experienced people's opinions 🙂 

clear skies,

ps I guess the same question for the RBG ones as well!

I've got a generic SVbony, one made by Optolong and rebranded, an Optolong one and a Baader. Don't really see a difference between them.

In the Trius I have a Baader LRGB set plus H-alpha, the G3 16200 has a full set of 2" Chroma filters

I have used UV/IR cut filters from Baader, Altair Astro and Astro essentials, with the same scope and camera I can’t see any real difference between them.

Full suite of Astronomiks - deep sky RGB and L3. I like them because they cut more of the extreme ends of the blue and red (moreso than most other brands), which reduces star bloat. My stars are tighter compared to the ZWO filters I used to use which had wider bandpasses.
