Antlia 4.5nmnm H-alpha (Ha) EDGE Filter

Antlia H-alpha EDGE narrowband filter optimise the FWHM (full width half maximum) to 4.5nm bandpass. The suppression of optical density (OD) 5 on unwanted wavelengths and the excellent transmittance characteristics found in the Antlia 3nm Pro series has been incorporated into the 4.5nm EDGE narrowband filters. The result is that these filters deliver superior SNR (signal to noise ratio) and better contrast in your images.

Antlia H-alpha 4.5nm EGDE filters are designed to deliver high transmittance at the 656.3nm line that provides you with the maximum signal to reveal the faintest H-alpha nebulae structures.

Conventional broader narrowband filters cause a heavy loss in transmission due to the strong Centre Wavelength (CWL)-shift. We guarantee T>90% within 1nm range of the centre bandwidth, which means that the H-alpha 4.5nm EDGE narrowband filters can guarantee high transmittance for working with both long focal ratios and fast optical systems. Blue-shift data shows that Antlia 4.5nm EDGE filters can be used with nearly all systems as fast as f/3 with minimal loss in emission signal and meets the requirements of fast optics.

IMPORTANT: These filters are NOT designed for observing or photographing the Sun. DO NOT use these filters to observe or photograph the Sun. If you do it will result in permanent eye damage!
