Which side should face the telescope?

Filter size:None

Baader H-alpha f/2 Ultra-Highspeed Filter – Premium Grade
3.5 nm FWHM (to harmonize the exposure time with O-III / S-II), recommended for extremely fast optical systems from < f/2.3
Specially designed for the special filter requirements when used with extremely fast f/2 optics like the Celestron RASA astrographs
For highest contrast even at strongest light pollution, minimizes star size, emphasizes finest nebula detail – indispensable under Bortle 9/8/7/(6) skies
Reflex-Blocker™ hard coated and planeoptically polished – with sealed coating edges (Life-Coat™)
Blackened edges all around, with filter-lead-side-indicator in the form of a telescope-sided black outer rim
Optimized for modern CMOS cameras, but likewise excellent for CCD camera technologies

Baader Narrowband-/Highspeed Filter Selector

To make it easy for you in the future to decide which kind of Highspeed (or Narrowband) filter you need for your telescope, please check our Filter-Selector, that provides you the correct individual graph based on your entriest, in which you can find the perfect filter for your telescope by f/ration and central obstruction.

Create your own FILTER-LIBRARY:

This filter - except for size 100x100x3 mm - (in case of a filter set: each individual filter) comes in a Filterbox for all filters up to 50x50mm, stackable on all sides (#2459253 , € 7,- ) , to create your individual "filter-library", offering a secure place and immediate access for all Baader-filters. Putting this "library" into a carry bag will allow you to have all your loose filters stored safely in the field and be handy always.

This new generation of Baader CMOS-filters features:

CMOS-optimized Baader Filters

Increased contrast

Ever more narrow passbands

Reflex-Blocker^™ coatings, for largest ever freedom from halos, even under most adverse conditions concerning aux-optics

FWHM on each filter category carefully designed to allow for 1:1:1 exposures, matched for typical CMOS quantum efficiency and s/n ratio

Identical filter thickness to existing standards, with utmost care for parfocality

Blackened edges all around, with filter-lead-side-indicator in the form of a black frontside outer rim, to additionally eliminate any reflection due to light falling onto the edge of a filter

Each filter coated individually, with sealed coating edge (NOT cut out of a larger plate with coatings left exposed, read more)

Life-Coat™: evermore hard coatings to enable a non-aging coating for life – even in a most adverse environment

Don´t be misled.

These all new CMOS-optimized filters work magnificently with all existing digital camera technologies, be it CMOS or CCD. However – an owner of CCD-camera-technology will still find our previous, extremely affordable, narrowband filter technology to be fully apt for excellent imaging. But: "the Better always is enemy to the Good".
