Antlia 2.8nm Narrowband H-alpha Ultra Filter

Antlia H-alpha Pro narrowband filter optimizes the FWHM (full width half maximum) to 2.8nm bandpass. As the bandwidth becomes narrower, the 2.8nm Ultra narrowband filters enhance contrast of emission targets by lowering the unwanted background signal. 

The out of band blocking specification is rated OD5 (0.001%) which delivers an excellent SNR(signal to noise ratio) and effective cut-off rate to minimize interference from other wavelengths.Improved sharp cut-off astrophotography 2.8nm Pro filters are designed to minimize halos around bright stars.

Application and Performance:

High transmittance and smallest bandwidth to maximize contrast

Steep spectral profile minimizes halos around bright stars

A single substrate to eliminate internal reflections

Narrowband Objects: H-alpha Emission Nebulae, Planetary, Wolf Rayet Nebulae and Supernova Remnants

Use in light polluted areas anddark sites

Extends imaging time when the moon is up

All Antlia Narrowband filters are edge blackened to eliminate internal reflections from stray light

Superior optical reliability reduces post image processing

This filter is not suited to deep sky objects that do not contain H-alpha emissions.
