Optolong H-Alpha 7nm CCD 2" Mounted Filter

The Optolong H-Alpha 7nm CCD 2" Mounted Filter is designed for astrophotographers seeking ultimate contrast and detail in emission nebulae imaging. With an ultra-narrow 7nm bandwidth centered on the 656nm H-alpha emission line, this filter isolates hydrogen signals while blocking unwanted light pollution, skyglow, and infrared interference.

Optimized for CCD and DSLR imaging, this filter delivers vivid, high-contrast results even from light-polluted skies. Whether used alone or in combination with OIII and SII filters for tricolor narrowband compositions, it’s an essential tool for deep-sky imaging. Built with high-quality Schott B260 glass and multi-layer ion-assisted coatings, the Optolong H-Alpha filter ensures stability, sharp transmission, and durable performance for years of astrophotography excellence.
