OPTOLONG 1.25" H-beta Filter Nebula Filter for Astronomical Deep Sky Photography
Items Description

Narrowband H-beta filter is designed for nebula observation allowing 25nm bandwidth of light centered on a wavelength of 486nm through, and reducing the transmission of certain wavelengths of light, specifically those produced by artificial light including mercury vapor, and both high and low pressure sodium vapor lights and the unwanted natural light caused by neutral oxygen emission in our atmosphere (i.e. skyglow). H-beta emits 486nm and it is a blue-colored filter.

Main Use and Performance:

  • Use with a large aperture telescope under clear and dark viewing conditions with good seeing.
  • Suitable for viewing on the faint and elusive Horsehead Nebula and California Nebula.
  • Narrowband filter do not eliminate the effects of light pollution or increase the object's brightness. In many cases, they increase the contrast between nebula and night sky, not brightening the nebula.

Technical Data:

  • Schott substrate material
  • Thickness 2.0 mm
  • Surface Quality: 60/40 (Refer to MIL-O-13830)
  • Fine-optically polished to ensure accurate 1/4 wave front and< 30 seconds parallelism over the both surfaces
  • 90% transmission at H-beta line 486nm
  • 0.1% transmission of off-band, specifically the major emission lines of artificial light pollution (i.e. Na 589nm, Hg 435nm and 578nm). Transmission of 0.1% is equivalent to OD3 (Optical Density), and a high optical density value indicates very low transmission, and low optical density indicates high transmission.

PLS NOTE: THE FILTERS OF OPTOLONG ARE NOT DESIGNED FOR SUN OBSERVATION. DO NOT LOOK AT THE SUN WITH OPTOLONG FILTER. YOU WOULD BE BLIND IF YOU FAIL TO OBSERVE THE WARNING.
