Antlia OIII Prime narrowband filter optimizes the FWHM (full width half maximum) to 7nm bandpass. The suppression of optical density is (OD)4 on unwanted wavelengths. The excellent optical coating characteristics found in the Antlia 3nm Pro series has been incorporated into the 7nm Prime narrowband filters. The result is that these filters deliver superior SNR(signal to noise ratio) and better contrast in your images. Antlia OIII 7nm Prime filters are designed to deliver 90% transmission at the 500.7nm line that provides you with the maximum signal to reveal the faintest OIII nebulae structures. The out of band blocking specification is rated OD4 (0.01%) which delivers an excellent SNR(signal to noise ratio) and effective cut off rate to minimize interference from other wavelengths. Improved sharp cut off astrophotography 7nm Prime filters are designed to minimize halos around bright stars. Antlia 7nm Prime filters can be used with nearly all systems as fast as f/2 with minimal loss in emission signal and meets the requirements of fast optics.

 

Application and Performance:

90% transmittance at Central Wavelength OIII 500.7nm

Wider FWHM, 7nm Prime narrowband filters can be used with fast optics of f/2 with minimal loss of signal

Steep spectral profile minimizes halos around bright stars

A single substrate to eliminate internal reflections

Narrowband Objects: OIII Emission Nebulae, Planetary, Wolf Rayet Nebulae and Supernova Remnants Use in light polluted areas and dark sites

All Antlia unmounted narrowband filters are edge blackened to eliminate internal reflections from stray light

Superior optical reliability reduces post image processing

This filter is effective for deep sky objects that contain OIII emissions

When we design filters for astronomy imaging systems, we look at how they will work together with optical systems, carefully designing the out of band blocking rate, transmittance and band-pass parameters to achieve an optimum result. Each filter is individually tested and scanned by strict QC to ensure that the quality meets the high-performance parameters. The result is that Antlia is known for designing filters for astrophotography that achieve exceptional quality and performance parameters at affordable prices. We believe the price to performance ratio compares more favorably than similar premium filters in the market.
