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).

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

Effortlessly track celestial objects across the night sky with this single axis motor drive designed for EQ2 mounts. By compensating for the Earth's rotation, it keeps stars and planets steadily in view without constant manual adjustment. The included hand controller offers variable speed settings for smooth scanning and precise tracking, while the battery case keeps your setup portable and cable-free.
