The contrast between an object glowing at 672nm and the background is increased enormous!\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eDue to the combination of the narrow bandwidth of 6nm and the high transmission of typically 96% the filter gives you an enormous contrast boost, as all unwanted light from other wavelengths than 672nm is blocked form UV up to the IR. This results in an extremly dark background.\u003cbr data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eThe FWHM of 6nm is matched to give you optimal performance with CCD and CMOS sensors with a very low dark current! The 6nm filter is the best choice if you are observing from a heavily light polluted site or if you are imaging faint objects in starcrowded regions of the milkyway.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e\u003cstrong data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eDue to the new MFR coating technique you may use one single filter on all instruments up to f\/4 without a significant reduction in performance.\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e\u003cstrong data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eImaging with Narrowband-Emissionline Filters\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eIf you have to observe from light polluted sites (like most of us...), imaging with Narrowband-Emissionline filters is the best way to take great images, as all kind of light pollution can be blocked very effective! Normaly an H-alpha filter should be your first step into this amazing field of astrophotography! With an Narrowband H-alpha filter you will be able to take deep and contrasty images even wih very heavy light pollution or with the full moon high up in the sky!\u003cbr data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eIf you look at other astrophotos, an H-alpha is the best choice for all nebulas glowing red! An OIII filters expands your imaging possibilities, as you are able to image all greenish\/blueish structures. Planetary nebulas and star forming regions are great targets! The SII filters completes your HSO-set of filters. With these three filters you are able to process your images like the ones from the Hubble space telescope!\u003cbr data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eThe h-beta filter is not available in a 6nm version, as this filter has nearly no meaningfull application. To illustrate this, there are two images shown below: Both were taken with a unmodified Canon 650D. Even as the camera has a sensitivity of less than 10% at H-alpha, there is some signal und structure in the h-alpha image, while you cannot see anything on the image taken with an H-beta filter!\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e\u003cstrong data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eOperation of the filter:\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eThe filter blocks all unwanted light from artifical light-pollution, natural airglow and moonlight. Especially light from High- and Low-Pressure Sodium and mercury lights and all lines of natural airglow are 100% blocked. The filter increases the contrast between the sky-background and objects glowing at the xx line at xy nm.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e\u003cstrong data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eTips and Hints for more applications:\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eUsing the xx filter together with OIII-CCD and SII-CCD filters you make produce false-color emission line images (HSO) in the same way as the Hubble-Space telescope. This is possible even from heavyly light polluted sites!\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e\u003cstrong data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eAlternatives:\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eThe lower priced 12nm filters are the right choice for you, if you own a typical DSLR or a CCD camera with a high dark current! The 12nm filters should be the fist choice for cameras with an integrated guiding sensor, as you will have about twice as much stars compared to the 6nm filter.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3 data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e\u003cstrong data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eTechnical Specifications\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e\u003cstrong data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eTechnical data of the filter:\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cul data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e\n\u003cli data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eGuaranteed Transmission of more than 90% at both SII lines (671,7nm und 673,0nm)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eTypical Transmission of 94% at both SII lines (671,7nm und 673,0nm)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eFull-Width-Half Maximum (FWHM): 6nm\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eperfect blocking of unwanted light from UV up to the IR\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eparfokal with all Astronomik filters\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eMFR Coating technique: Usable with all optics up to f\/4\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eThickness of 1mm\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eNot sensitive to moisture, scratch resistant, not aging\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eopticaly polished substrate, striae-free and free of residual stresses\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eHigh quality storage box\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003cdiv style=\"text-align: center;\" data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e___________\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv style=\"text-align: center;\" data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eAll Astronomik Filters are perfect for modern cameras, including both CMOS and CCD based cameras, allowing you to capture the very best images possible with your instruments.
