ERF-Filters

ERF (Energy-Rejection-Filter) are essential components for solar observation. They protect the telescope and eyes from the high-energy radiation (IR heat radiation, UV radiation) and enable narrow-band filtering for observation and photography.

  • Reduces approx. 98% of heat reaching the optics to keep Etalon from drifting off-band and protects your expensive equipment.
  • Spectrographic Transmission test report included showing the performance of each individual filter.
  • 32-36nm FHWM Bandpass at H-alpha wavelength of 656.28 nm Transmission ~ 95-98% (Tolerance is about 3%).
  • 32-36nm FHWM Bandpass with CWL at 395nm covering Calcium H-Line and Calcium K-Line wavelengths. Transmission - 85-90% (Tolerance is about 3%).
  • Visible light blocking (area of maximum solar radiation and heat generation): Average OD4 ~0.001%T @400-700nm.
  • UVIR average blocking OD5 ~0.001%T between 200-1100nm
  • Extra Deep IR Blocking up to 1700nm Average OD2 (1%) (lowest solar radiation).
  • Quartz Element Diameter 95mm, Thickness 8mm, Weight 125g
  • Multilayer coatings with SiO2 protective overcoat for a long life and easy cleaning.
  • ERF Holder cell included with soft tip threaded knobs. Tough and very light, easy to disassemble for cleaning the filter with optical wipes. Cell does not put any tension on the optics. For this reason the glass element is able to move slightly within the cell by about 0.5mm.

The Altair Dichroic Solar Energy Rejection Filter or D-ERF protects your telescope and solar imaging equipment from excessive heat build-up when solar imaging or observing with your Daystar Hydrogen Alpha Quark, or other Hydrogen Alpha Etalon filters. Now you can save money by combining Hydrogen Alpha, Calcium K-Line and Calcium H-Line in one TRIBAND pre-filter.

Product Features:

  • Reduces approx. 98% of heat reaching the optics to keep Etalon from drifting off-band and protect your equipment.
  • 30nm FHWM Bandpass at H-alpha (H) wavelength of 656.28 nm (Full Width Half Minimum) Transmission: ~95.5%
  • 40nm FHWM Bandpass with CWL at 395nm covering Calcium H-Line and Calcium K-Line wavelengths. Transmission: ~90.5%
  • UVIR blocking OD3 0.1% @400-1100nm blocking over 98% of heat to your 3rd party Etalon at eyepiece or camera end, E.g. Daystar Quark). Please note it's your responsibility to use a proper commercial Etalon with this product, and to follow the manufacturer's instructions.
  • Visible light blocking: OD4 0.01% @400-700nm to reduce reflection effects and over 98% of heat.
  • Diameter 120mm Thickness 12.0mm (required to achieve surface precision)
