Chroma is only recently producing for themselves for astrophotographers. I believe this is why they seem to be new to the market but they’ve been in the industry for a few decades I believe.
Ah, makes sense. Astrodon did not make the filters themselves as I imagine that would require an expensive factory.

In which case if they are the same then it just comes down to cost.
