Solar observation is a very interesting area of Astronomy. There is something new to see here practically every day. Our home star is constantly changing! Regardless of in white light or in the narrow-band hydrogen or calcium band, observations of the processes on the sun are very impressive!
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.
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)
Multilayer coatings with SiO2 protective overcoat.
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.
Altair 130mm Aperture Energy Rejection filter - Ha Hydrogen Alpha only D-ERF for 5" Refractors
Product Features:
Reduces approx. 98% of heat reaching the optics to keep Etalon from drifting off-band and protect your equipment.
30-40nm FHWM Bandpass at H-alpha (H) wavelength of 656.28 nm (Full Width Half Minimum) Transmission: ~90%
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 140mm Thickness 12.0mm
Multilayer coatings with SiO2 protective overcoat.
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 and will not scratch or damage your telescope. It also won't alter the balance as much as an aluminium cell.
