The advantage of the L-eXtreme filter is that there is no transmission between the H-beta and OIII lines, as there is no nebula emission lines there. In this case, it isn't letting light pollution come through so that maximize nebulas signal and make the sky background darker while imaging. The L-eXtreme filter should better isolate the emission lines only and better protect from light pollution.

The L-Pro Astrophotography CCD filter is a filter for improving the contrast of deep-sky objects and dampening the sky background.

• blocks UV and IR (700 - 1100 nm)
• high transmission at passband
• improved color balance for DSLRs and One-Shot Color Astro Cameras, e.g. ASI Color Cameras cooled or uncooled by ZWO.
• high optical quality
• in 1.25" filter cell
• The L-Pro Nebula filter permits roughly 3x longer exposure times than without a filter and therefore improves contrast significantly.
