For Canon EF-EOSR drop-in mount adapter & Meike MK-EFTR-C (EF-R) & MK-EFTE-C (EF-E) drop-in mount adapters：Installation Manual

Capture wider and deeper views of the city sky -
IDAS's DTD (Dusk to Dawn) filter is a broadband filter that transmits a wide spectrum from visible light to near infrared (NIR) while supporting emission line regions such as Hα and OIII.

This model is designed exclusively for the "DRT type" that is compatible with the Canon genuine EF-EOSR drop-in mount adapter and Meike EF-R/E drop-in holder, realizing and efficient and high-image-quality rear mount configuration that does not require changing filters every time you change lenses.

[Features]
・Wideband transmission design supports a wide variety of celestial bodies such as comets, galaxies, emission nebulae, reflection nebulae, molecular clouds, and the Milky Way
・The IDAS filter that can enhance colors the most
・Transmits not only visible light but also near infrared (IR transmission available)
・Compatible with Canon/Meike mount adapters
・Can be attached smartly to the rear side regardless of lens
・Made in Japan, high-precision optical glass, AR coating

[Specifications]
・Filter type: DRT type (for drop-in rear mount only)
・Effective diameter: 45mm
・Thickness: 2.0mm
・Transmission characteristics: Wideband (covers visible light to near infrared)
・Surface treatment: Dichroic coat / AR coat
・Country of manufacture: Japan

[Compatible mount adapters]
・Canon EF-EOSR drop-in mount adapter
・Meike MK-EFTR-C (EF → RF mount)
・Meike MK-EFTE-C (EF → E mount)

[Recommended for the following people]
・Those who want to avoid the hassle of changing filters for each lens
・Those who want to enjoy a wide range of subjects such as comets, galaxies, and nebulae with one filter
・Those who want to capture the detailed structure and rich colors of celestial bodies, including IR components
・Those who already own a genuine Canon or Meike drop-in holder
・Canon and Sony mirrorless interchangeable-lens users who want high-quality, halo-free nebulae depictions

Feature:
The IDAS DTD filter not only passes through the Ha and OIII regions in the same manner as of the IDAS NBZ, but also provides a pass band for comet ion tails in the visible spectrum range (400nm to 700nm, susceptible to light pollutions). This filter furthermore enhances the contrast of the continuous spectrum lights from comet dust tails, galaxies and the Milky Way by making use of the NIR region that is hardly interferenced by light pollutions. The DTD filter makes it possible to shoot more objects in the visible to NIR spectrum range at higher contrasts.

n.b. on halos:
Optical filters such as IDAS DTD and GNB utilizing infrared tend to cause haloing in the NUV and NIR regions. This is because the anti-reflection properties of off-the-shelf cameras' optical systems (oiptical window and sensor cover glass) are optimized for the visible spectrum only, not for the NIR region. Thus, haoling at the camera end in the unoptimized region becomes more apparent, coupled with haloing from the filter itself.
Here is a rough estimation of the magnitude of haoling where the haloing maginute of NBZ (NBZex) is counted as 1:
DTD + IMX294 sensor results in 7.9 times
DTD + IMX585 sensor results in 23.7 times

Light Pollution Cut Functions:
The most of the light pollution sources are conspicuous below 600nm, i.e. in the visible wave rage. There are almost no light pollution sources available in the NIR range of 630nm and 700nm or above.

Suitability of DTD Filtes for shooting comets:
The DTD's transmission bands allow you to captures the blue-green coma (C2 ions) at the head of the comet, the blue CO+ plasma at the tail, and the overall reflected light. In addition, in low-altitude and hazy conditions such as mist, the transmission of the near-infrared range is utilized to increase contrast.

Suitability of DTD Filtes for shooting emission and reflection nebulae (including molecular clouds), the Milky Way, extragalactic galaxies, and star clusters:
For nebulae with Hα and OIII emission lines, the DTD will increase contrast by using a quasi-narrowband transmission band in the visible range, while keeping the light loss of continuous spectrum objects minimum by using the entire transmission band in the visible and infrared ranges.

Enhancement of Color Saturation:
The visible range characteristics of the DTD allow for effective use of the RGB range of the image sensor.
Our Nebula Booster series (NBZ-II and GNB) and other companies' dual band NB filters produce images with poor color reproduction in the B-ch. In contrast, the DTD provides sufficient light for the B-ch, resulting in richer color reproduction.
