More About the Astronomik H-Alpha 12 nm CCD Pentax K1 Clip Filter

For CCD applications, this Astronomik H-Alpha 12 nm CCD Filter is the optimal narrowband filter. Its 12 nm full width at half maximum (FWHM) is perfect for standard CCD cameras, permitting the use of extremely fast optics. The f/number application range spans from 1:2.8 to 1:15. Transmission deficits and chromatic distortion, a problem with other filters, only happen with Astronomik filters when excessively bright 1:2 plus aperture ratios are involved. Using this filter guarantees 90% transmission or more at H-Alpha (656nm). This filter is made to Astronomik's exacting standards. While transmission ratings may vary between each filter, you are guaranteed a transmission rating greater than 90%, with a typical transmission rating of around 96% for the 12 nm Ha. The specific T-Max will be listed on the filter case. You can rest easy knowing that every unit is thoroughly tested and guaranteed to meet Astronomik's stellar benchmark of performance! Additionally, with this 12 nm filter, you'll find it easier to locate guide stars for cameras with an incorporated autoguider.

The Astronomik H-Alpha 12 nm Filter increases the contrast between objects, in this instance between objects with H-Alpha emission lines and the airglow background. In addition, this filter serves as an excellent light pollution filter by completely concealing the emission lines from artificial lighting sources such as those from sodium and mercury-vapor street lamps. Due to the Astronomik 12 nm H-Alpha substrate's high optical quality, you'll see the same razor-sharp stars with a regular telescope.

Delivered in a superior quality, long-lasting plastic storage box, this H-Alpha 12 nm CCD Filter completely blocks out all undesired wavelengths in the visible light and IR spectral bands. As with all Astronomik filters, this filter is parfocal with all filters from Astronomik. Diffraction-limited, it will not lessen the optical capabilities of your telescope. This filter is also highly resistant to blemishes caused by scratching, aging, and high humidity. Learn more about the Astronomik Clip filter for Pentax K1 in the comprehensive video below!

Astronomik Pentax K-1 Clip Filter System

Compatible with Pentax K1 and K1 Mk II digital SLR cameras, this Pentax K1 clip filter is the newest member of the Astronomik clip filter family. Does not support camera models with APS-C sensors! Astronomik clip filters are designed to be used with traditional camera lenses for use with telescopes.

Transmission Specifications

• More than 97% transmission for the H-Alpha line

• The complete rest of the visual spectrum is almost entirely obstructed

• Blocks undesired wavelengths in the infrared

Please note this filter must NEVER be used for solar observing or imaging. Doing so will cause permanent damage to your eyes.
