Other similar imaging filters on the market have much narrower bandpasses at the critical Hα-Hβ-OIII wavelengths, but these filters will actually block much of the incoming Hα-Hβ-OIII light for an F/2 optical system. Because of this, it will not work well on broadband emission objects, such as galaxies and star clusters. The Hα-Hβ-OIII Imaging Filter for the 8” RASA is a narrowband filter that blocks much of the visible spectrum and only lets specific wavelengths through. The transmission spectrum for the Hα-Hβ-OIII Imaging Filter is 85% or greater at key wavelengths (486nm, 496nm/501nm, 656nm) and less than 0.5% transmission elsewhere.
The imaging filter transmits key Hα-Hβ-OIII wavelengths that produce high contrast for emission nebulae. The Hα-Hβ-OIII Imaging Filter for the 8” RASA is perfect for imaging emission nebulae like the North America Nebula (NGC 7000), Lagoon Nebula (M8), Orion Nebula (M42), and the Carina Nebula (NGC 3372). You’ll notice much higher contrast in your images immediately, even if imaging from your light-polluted backyard! And since the transmission at the key wavelengths is so high, the nebula will not be dimmed-only the background will be blacker. By strategically blocking these “bad” wavelengths, the filter essentially eliminates the effect of light pollution while letting the “good” wavelengths of light associated with the emission nebula pass through to the camera. This specialized filter allows high transmission of light from emission nebulae while blocking light pollution, helping to make your images pop with detail of the black sky background with superior contrast.įortunately, many sources of light pollution have relatively discreet emission spectra they emit primarily at specific wavelengths of light. Bring out the best in your nebulae astroimages with the H-alpha H-beta OIII (Hα-Hβ-OIII) Imaging Filter for the 8” RASA.
