The main purpose of this filter is for observing and photographing the night sky, specifically for capturing the hydrogen-alpha emission line in the sun's spectrum. It's particularly effective for high contrast emission nebulae imaging.
Unlike conventional narrowband filters that can cause significant transmission loss due to Central Wavelength (CWL) shift, this high-speed H-alpha filter features a CWL-preshift that perfectly aligns with f/2 to f/3 optics, preventing the CWL from shifting out of the Full Width at Half Maximum (FWHM).
This filter is optimized for use with fast optics between f/1.8 and f/3.5, offering a dramatic improvement over regular sets of narrowband filters.
The filter is manufactured by Baader Planetarium, a reputable brand known for high-quality optical products.
Yes, this filter is suitable for both beginners and seasoned astrophotographers. It's designed to be user-friendly and effective, providing high contrast and clarity in astrophotography.

AstroSolar film is the standard for white light solar filters. This mounting cell has two great advantages for eclipse photographers. The wide flange shades your camera avoiding overheating. The external 3 rubber bumper attachment is easy to remove and replace quickly without disturbing your aim. This is a great advantage for totality in a total solar eclipse. Highly recommended

Discover the transformative power of the 31mm Round f/2 High-speed H-alpha Filter, unmounted, a high-quality and innovative product from the reputable Baader Planetarium. This durable and reliable filter is specifically engineered for the specialized requirements of ultra-fast astrograph optics, including Hyperstar and RASA systems.
Unlike conventional narrowband filters that often result in significant transmission loss due to the strong Central Wavelength (CWL) shift, this high-speed H-alpha filter is designed with a CWL-preshift that perfectly aligns with f/2 to f/3 optics. This unique feature ensures that even in extreme cases, the CWL does not shift out of the Full Width at Half Maximum (FWHM), thereby optimizing the FWHM and delivering maximum contrast.
This effective filter is a game-changer in the field of astrophotography, particularly for high contrast emission nebulae imaging. It is optimized for use with fast optics between f/1.8 and f/3.5, offering a dramatic improvement over regular sets of narrowband filters. Experience the night sky like never before with this innovative filter, designed to capture the hydrogen-alpha emission line in the sun's spectrum with unparalleled clarity and contrast.
Whether you're a seasoned astrophotographer or a beginner in the field, the 31mm Round f/2 High-speed H-alpha Filter, unmounted, is a must-have addition to your astrophotography equipment.
