H-Beta Filter
H-Beta is a visual narrowband filter for blue 486 nm line-emission nebulae, suppressing other light to improve contrast. Like O-III 25 nm filters, it requires large-aperture telescopes to gather enough light from faint objects; small apertures are not recommended. The 486 nm hydrogen β line suits the Horsehead in Orion and the California Nebula and makes the Horsehead more visible. Source frame and packaging: M48*0.75 thread; aerospace aluminum; one-piece CNC; fine sandblasting and anodizing with internal light suppression; permanent laser engraving; PP box with imported high-pressure white EVA; 340 g silver-card carton with dense foam; sizes 1.25 and 2 inches; ROHS pass. Spectral notes: transmission exceeds 88% near Hβ at 486 nm. Effective blocking is stated as 0.1% for urban high-pressure Na at 589 nm and Hg at 578 nm. Selective transmission improves contrast, not brightness.
