What are the pluses and minuses of the different varieties of H-Alpha filters? Are some better for viewing vs imaging? Does refractor type (APO vs achromat)...
Hello: I would like to know, which brand of filters do you recommend for Ha, OIII and SII. and what bandwith to use for best results. Regards, Eric. (México)...
I use Custom Scientific and have had excellent results. We now have about a dozen of these filters and all of them are excellent. Ron Wodaski The New CCD...
You can get them from many astronomy dealers, or from Custom Scientific directly. They do not have much of a web site - you may need to contact them directly....
Hi all, I am looking for an H-Alpha filter to fit a 52mm diameter lens thread. I already own Astronomik filters for 2" eyepieces but I cannot use a step-down...
Gday, Im sure you guys have had to answer this question a thousand times, but my view is that different filters no doubt fit different setups. IM a n00b to...
Eric, You might also want to check out Astomnomik. I learned from AVA they now have these filters in 1.25 and 48mm and I believe they are parfocal with the...
... do you intend to use it for CCD or for tech-pan? If you want to use CCD, then you need a narrow band halpha filter. For tech-pan, the longpass ones like...

Hi Chris ! What kind of telescope do you use?? If you have any refracting elements in your system you MUST refocus with all filters. CS Gerd ... [Non-text...
It's fairly common for "parfocal" filters to not quite be exactly parfocal. The faster your focal ratio, the more likely this is. Ron Wodaski The New CCD...
