About this product

Model:  opt_ha_7nm_31mm
Part Number:  11303

Latest Version - Higher contrast and coating enhancements.

The Optolong H-Alpha 7nm filter is the most popular narrowband filter in the range allowing 7nm bandwidth of light centered on a wavelength of 656nm through. This filter does an excellent job of blocking out other wavelengths of light specifically artificial sources of light pollution including mercury vapour, high and low pressure sodium vapour lights and unwanted natural light caused by neutral oxygen emission in our atmosphere (skyglow).

This filter can help increase contrast and reveal subtle nebula details in your images. Suitable for imaging faint emission nebula in the H-Alpha line even in full moonlight or areas of high light pollution.

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

FEATURES

  • 80% transmission at passband / Precision off-band blocking
  • Infrared wavelength 700-1100nm blocked
  • 0.1% transmission of off-band, specifically the major emission lines of artificial light pollution (i.e. Na 589nm, Hg 435nm and 578nm)

  • Suitable for use with mono CCD and CMOS cameras
  • 1.25" / 2" mounted or 31mm / 36mm unmounted sizes.
  • Supplied in a protective plastic case with EVA foam lining
  • 2mm Thick Schott Glass
  • Fine-optically polished on both sides - ensures accurate λ/4 wavefront and <30 seconds parallelism over the both surfaces

Transmission Chart

Red Line: H-alpha, 7nm centred at 656.3nm.

Blue Line: SII, 6.5nm centred at 671.6nm.

Green Line: OIII, 6.5nm centred at 500.7nm

Technical Data
