On the evening of August 12, 2026, an extraordinary celestial event is on the horizon: A total solar eclipse will pass over parts of Europe—though not over Germany.
Here in Germany, we will experience an impressive partial eclipse, which will nonetheless offer a rare and spectacular sight. Germany will be entirely within the Moon’s penumbra. As a result, the sun will not be completely, but clearly and visibly “nibbled away.”
What do you need to safely observe the solar eclipse? You can find a list 👉 here!

Antlia H-alpha Pro narrowband filter optimizes the FWHM (full width half maximum) to 3nm bandpass. As the bandwidth becomes narrower, the 3nm Pro narrowband filters enhance contrast of emission targets by lowering the unwanted background signal. Antlia H-alpha 3nm Pro filters are designed to deliver 88% transmission at the 656.3nm line which provides you with the maximum signal and well defined nebulae structures.

Antlia OAG and filter drawer assembly is an innovative accessory that integrates filter drawer and OAG.
- Large 12*12 mm pick-out prism for using a larger guiding sensor, therefore greater choice of guide stars.
- Mono-block (one-piece) design with the OAG body directly connected to the filter drawer - provides a very rigid platform for guiding.
- Comfortably fits APS-C sensor and full frame sensor.
- The total thickness plus both side adapters is 37.5 mm.
- Right for cameras with 17.5 mm back focus distance without additional adapters.
- A high-quality 1.25-inch helical focuser with a generous 10 mm of travel allows you will find the optimum focus for your guide star.
- The prism height can be adjusted to better illuminate the field of view of your auto guider. The smaller the imaging sensor in your camera the further down the prism can be set without interfering with the sensor.
- Dovetail-type threaded adapters are attached to the body with grub screws, so the adapters can be 360° rotated and locked to align with the telescope and camera.
- You can rotate the OAG 360° to find a guide star.
- Telescope-side connections (female thread): M48, M54, M68
- Camera side connections (male thread): T2 (M42x0.75), M48, M54, M68
- Connection adapters also fit to the respective other side
- Suitable for 2" filters
