This premium Optolong Narrowband H-Alpha filter is designed for nebula observation or CCD/dSLR imaging at 7nm bandwidth of light centered on a wavelength of 656nm, which corresponds to H-alpha emission lines.
Compatible with all APS-C sized Canon EOS cameras. Not for full frame cameras.
This filter will reduce the transmission of certain wavelengths of light, specifically those produced by artificial light including mercury vapor, and both high and low pressure sodium vapor lights and the unwanted natural light caused by neutral oxygen emission in our atmosphere (i.e. skyglow). It is a red colored filter. Many images of planetary nebulae and supernova remnants are taken only with H-alpha and OIII filters. They show great structural details, but have natural colors, looking like an RGB image.
Suitable for visual observation through large aperture telescopes or general CCD/dSLR imaging of most emission nebulae, planetary nebulae and supernova remnants even during full moon and in areas suffering from severe light pollution. Suitable for viewing bright nebulae like M42 Orion Nebula from cities with heavy light pollution.
Images of the Hubble-palette like the famous "Pillars of Creation" of the Eagle nebula (M16) are taken by the combination of H-alpha, OIII-CCD and SII-CCD filters. Narrowband imaging with a SHO set (H-alpha, OIII-CCD and SII-CCD) can be done with the moon up in a heavily light polluted area so your equipment won't have to be dormant for several weeks.
A H-alpha filter can also be the first addition to a LRGB set for most imagers who will blend a black-and-white H-alpha image into RGB data to enhance structural detail whilst maintaining natural look.
Bear in mind that light pollution filters do not eliminate the effects of light pollution or increase the object’s brightness. In many cases, they simply increase the contrast between nebula and night sky, but without brightening the nebula.

WARNING:
Optolong filters are not designed for solar observation. DO NOT LOOK AT THE SUN WITH ANY OPTOLONG FILTER as permanent eye damage will be the result.
