From: € 94.00 Price excl. German VAT tax (19%): € 78.99
- H-alpha filter with 20 nm FWHM (CWL 656.3 nm), thus excellently suited for visual use at night - and photographically with CCD and CMOS cameras at telescopes with all f-ratios. Warning: this filter alone is not suitable for direct viewing of the sun!
- With new, highly effective UV/IR block coating from 300 nm to 1400 nm
- Similar to the Super G filter in O III, the 20 nm H-alpha filter is an outstanding high-contrast deep-sky H-alpha/red filter for RGB applications, optimised for all colour CCD and CMOS chips. It enables high-contrast images of H-II regions (e.g. North America nebulae) even from light-polluted environments.
- Front-Reflex-Blocker™ hard coated and planeoptically polished – with sealed coating edges (Life-Coat™)

- Baader H-alpha / O-III / S-II Ultra-Narrowband Filter Set – Premium Grade
- 3.5 / 4 nm FWHM (to harmonize the exposure time from H-alpha with O-III / S-II), recommended for optical systems from > f/3.4
- 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
We explicitly warn against observing the sun with a DeepSky 3.5 nm (equivalent to 35 Ångstroem) H-alpha narrowband filter, specialized solar chromosphere and prominence filters from SolarSpectrum start at 0.8 Ångstroem. Photographic experiments with a camera are theoretically possible, but by no means observe the sun with naked eyes – you endanger your eyesight!
