Altair Astro manufacturer of high quality astronomical accessories Manufacturer in England of high quality accessories and distribution of CCD cameras.APM is a partially authorized dealer for Germany.
The Altair 395nm NUV filter selectively passes light of the two main Calcium wavelengths emitted by the sun: CA-K line at 393.37nm, and the CA-H line at 396.85nm.
Multi-Layer Anti-Reflection coating to reduce star-halos and reflections from camera optical window.
Batch-tested for consistency.
Ultra-flat glass by Schott Germany. 1.85mm Glass 30sec parallel, optical polish to MIL Spec. MIL-O-13830.
High quality dichroic/dielectric coatings. Electron-beam gun evaporation with Ion-assisted deposition coating technology for durability and resistance to scratching, as well as stability on CWL (central wavelength). No deviation affected by temperature change.
UV/IR block for imaging - star bloat reduction with refractors.
Precision CNC machined filter cell for strain-free mounting and freedom from tilt.
Altair Quad-Band 2" Filter for OSC CMOS, CCD and Modified or Unmodded DSLR cameras.
This is the new QuadBand V2 Coating technology which includes:
Halo suppression. We have not had any reports of halos caused by this filter in testing.
Increased blocking of UV, IR and unwanted visual range wavelengths. UV OD7 (T0.00001%) Visual OD5 (T0.001%) and IR OD4 (T0.01%) for the ultimate in skyglow blocking.
Higher transmission % of desired wavelengths Ttop 95% (Average 5% higher transmission of desired wavelengths).
Ha and Oiii wavelengths at 35nm FWHM for with less tail-off to reduce unwanted light pollution.
SkyTech Quad-Band EOS Clip Filter for DSLR cameras (including astro-modified) Narrowband Bi-Colour imaging is a growing new trend in astrophotography, especially popular in light polluted areas, or for imaging in rural areas in moonlight.
