Imaging Filters

• Enhance imaging of nebulae with your 8” Rowe-Ackermann Schmidt Astrograph (RASA) by blocking light pollution, improving image contrast, and darkening the sky background.
• This filter transmits only the key Hα-Hβ-OIII wavelengths from emission nebulae, providing high contrast that makes them “pop.”
• This filter selectively blocks wavelengths of light from sources of light polluted skies and natural sky glow.
• Unlike similar filters with narrower bandpasses, this filter was engineered specifically to work with RASA’s fast F/2 optics.
• Fits into the 8” RASA’s integrated filter mount, maintaining peak optical performance.
• Optically flat surfaces free of defects, constructed of Schott glass with anti-reflection coatings.

• Enhance your 8” Rowe-Ackermann Schmidt Astrograph (RASA) by blocking light pollution, improving image contrast, and darkening the sky background.
• This filter selectively blocks wavelengths of light from sources of light pollution, such as streetlights, not broad regions of the spectrum.
• Does not block wavelengths associated with emission nebulae, keeping your nebula images bright and detailed.
• Fits into the 8” RASA’s integrated filter mount, maintaining peak optical performance.
• Optically flat surfaces free of defects, constructed of Schott glass with anti-reflection coatings.

Astrodon Narrowband filters set a new bar of performance and durability for imaging and research.

Astrodon 5nm Narrowband Filters – H-alpha 5nm

H-α (hydrogen-alpha) at 656 nm (nanometers) is deep red in color and the most popular narrowband filter. Hydrogen is ubiquitous in the cosmos and is present in emission nebula (North American, Pelican), planetary nebula (Dumbbell, Ring), Wolf-Rayet objects (Crescent, Thor’s Helmet) and supernova remnants (Veil).
