Dear Baader, is possible to use the reducer for H alpha visual observations or isnjust a photographic togliere? Thanks!Is Answered? Yes (1 answer)
Answer rated: -1Its more a photographic tool. You can use it visually but its not very satisfying because you see an obstruction on the outside and the image is more concentrated and therefore brighter which affects the visual surface contrastAnswer by: Baader Web Team (Admin) on Mar 27, 2023 8:12:00 AMRated: 03/27/2023 3:35 AM Laser Colli - Mark III

I have read that using a Baader IR-Pass Filter just to be extra safe might be a good idea. what do you think of using such a filter with this Herschel Wedge?
thank you!Is Answered? Yes (1 answer)
Answer rated: 0Of course, we will gladly sell you such a UV/IR-cut-filter. It doesn't do any harm, as long as it is of good quality and doesn't cause reflexions.
Such a filter may even be a wise choice if you decide to use the prism with ND-filters by other manufacturers, where you don't know if they let UV/IR pass or not. However, if you use our included filters, they do not only dim the visible light, but also block the remaining UV/IR.Answer by: Baader Web Team (Admin) on Mar 13, 2023 10:34:00 AMRated: 03/12/2023 10:28 PM Baader 3.5 / 4nm f/2 Ultra-Highspeed Filter-Set – CMOS-optimized (H-alpha / O-III / S-II)
If I am using an Edge8/Hyperstar v4/294MM-Pro (21mm image diagonal, 28mm image circle), would I benefit from the smaller filters compared to the larger ones? I want to buy 2” for when I go full-frame, but I need to make sure it will work properly for my current setup as well.Is Answered? Yes (1 answer)
Answer rated: 0At f/10 or even with the 0.7x reducer, you do not need the highspeed filters, the regular filters will work better. To deal with the steeper light cone at faster f/ratios, the filters need to be pre-shifted, so that a ilter for f/2 needs to be different from a filter for f/3 and from one for f/4 or slower.
