Astronomik H-alpha 12 nm CCD Clip-Filter EOS APS-C (SKU: 10201090 / 8h00ih) is a narrowband filter designed for imaging hydrogen nebulae emitting light in the H-alpha line. It significantly increases contrast between objects emitting at 656 nm and the sky background, both under light- polluted skies and at dark observing sites. This clip-in version is designed for Canon EOS APS-C cameras.

The filter selectively transmits the hydrogen H-alpha emission line (656 nm) while effectively blocking unwanted light at other wavelengths from UV to IR. It completely suppresses emission lines from sodium (Na) and mercury (Hg) lamps, all natural airglow lines, and most interfering moonlight, significantly reducing the effects of light pollution.

In areas with low light pollution, the image background is usually limited by the sensor’s dark current rather than sky brightness. Therefore, further suppression of the sky background by reducing the bandwidth (smaller FWHM) does not necessarily reveal additional object detail compared to the 12 nm version.

Astronomik narrowband filters enable high-contrast astrophotography even under difficult observing conditions. The H-alpha filter is typically the first element in a narrowband imaging setup and is ideal for capturing red emission nebulae. Combined with OIII and SII filters, it enables false-colour imaging in the HSO (H-alpha, SII, OIII) palette.

The Astronomik H-alpha filter must not be used for solar observation.
