iOptron H-Alpha Narrowband Filter -1.25"

iOptron H-Alpha 7nm filter is the popular narrowband filter allowing 7nm bandwidth of light centered on a wavelength of 656nm 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). Better choice of narrowband H-alpha astrophotography filter for highest contrast and revealing subtle nebula details.

H-alpha filter is the first narrowband addition to LRGB set for most imagers who blend a black-and-white Ha image into RGB data to enhance structural detail while maintaining natural look.

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.

WARNING: iOptron filters are not designed for direct solar observation. NEVER use these filters for observing or imaging the Sun, or permanent eye and equipment damage will result.
