Chroma Technology H-beta filters are useful for imaging nebulae and objects rich in ionized hydrogen. At 486.1nm, a narrow-band filter is required to separate H-beta from nearby blue and green spectral lines. Although weaker than the H-alpha line, this is often used for visual detection as the longer red wavelengths of H-alpha are difficult to detect by eye.

Chroma Technology H-beta filters are available in the following filter sizes:

• 1.25″ Mounted
• 2″ Mounted
• 31mm Unmounted
• 36mm Unmounted
• 50mm Unmounted
• 50x50mm Square Unmounted

Optical Density Data:

All transmission and blocking (OD) data are actual, measured spectra of representative production lots. Spectra varies slightly from lot to lot. Optical density values in excess of 6 may appear noisy because such evaluations push the resolution limit of low light level measurements
