Hi, Richard, I have both the Baader 7nm H-alpha and the 8nm O-III. It's the latter filter that Baader says needs to be used with an IR filter. I've used them...
I hope this is the last off-topic post I have to make for a long, long time. Kevin has given me the power to change group settings, so I've finally been able...
I can maybe get one exposure of a half hour before this guy is in the trees at my house this is using the Baader 7nm Ha filter in combination with 3nm CS...
This is something I've always wondered about: given that most targets show a lot more H-alpha than S-II or O-III, the effective exposure for the latter two has...
my view is a little different Ed here it is: a "cross section" of the stars shows a truncated cone with a rounded top: imagine a slice through the image so...
I made a simple tool to create snr images. The tool is based on compiled versions of two of the FITSTOOLS components free on the NASA website. I am not a...

Hi Richard, Thanks. Also after many hours of searching in the ner I found some very interesting pages from french astronomers with all sort of tests regarding...

Hi Ed, You wrote ... I am not mixing any colors. It is a one shot color camera :-) and I use auto white balance. The fact is that buying and using an UV filter...

as I understand it, there are two baader UV filters: the older 1.25" and the newer 2" the 2" doesn't leak IR as it is reported ... From: dieterkuespert To:...
Hi Richard, I got the 2 filters during NEAF 2007 e.g. 28th of april so it was less then 1 week ago. saludos Rainer ... 1.25" and the newer 2" ... Filter of...
The timing of your purchase is indeed recent, Rainier. I am confused why you bring that up: what does that have to do with the 2" new style UV filter from...
Hi Richard, I do not understand what you wrote. Both of my filters do plet pass IR as far as I have been able to see. I have tested the filters e.g. both the...
Hi Richard, In reference to your private e-mail that only the 2" filter is new and not the 1.25" I just shot the plain sky with bith as well as for comparison...
UV and IR are both outside of the intended bandwidth of your sensor. The red, green, and blue filters used in the bayer matrix aren't necessarily going to...
Hi Ed, Thanks for the lenghty explanation. The used camera has NO UV/IR cut filter. Does it even so apply that it is outside the bandwidth ? It would be good...
.. I understood Hi, After reading Ed's long post I decided to make another test. This time using my monochrome DMK and my LRGB-HAlpha-OIII-SII filterwheel. As...
Hi Rainer, I seem to recall that you eventually did get around to purchasing a modded DSLR? If yes, and yours has no UV/IR Blocker over the sensor, you can...
Hi Samir, Thanks :-) but I am not going to throw more money, buying something like a grating from Baader :-), into something which is more or less fiddled out....

Hi Richard, I am not able to see the image as a page pops up with the message 403 forbidden. Is it in color or black and white ? Thanks for that info. So I...
Hi Samir, when I saw your comment about testing the Baader UV filter using a TV remote, I thought that was a great idea. So I got out my filter sets and began...
Hello everyone. I am new to imaging with filters. I just upgraded my SBIG 7XME and bought the filter wheel with RGB filters. Now I am looking at some filters I...
I have used the Lumicon [OIII] and it does work. It is a bit wide but beats not having one the Optometrics is not one I have used. But you may as well try them...
