Product Description

The Antlia Solar Wedge prism and internal CaK solar filter are made of heat resistant double-polished substrate. Antlia CaK 393.3nm solar filter uses the most advanced multicoatings to produce a sharp 3nm narrow bandpass, designed to maximize contrast for high-resolution imaging of sun spots, solar surface granulation and other features that are prominent in CaK light.

A high blocking specification of OD5 (0.001%) between 200-1200nm wavelengths and OD3 (0.1%) between 1200-1500nm wavelengths delivers superb resolution for imaging with the Antlia Cak 3nm solar filter. It should be noted that the bandpass for Cak (393nm) makes solar features almost invisible to human vision because of the eye's low sensitivity and poor resolving ability at the CaK frequency. Hence, the Antlia Solar Wedge with CaK filter is not recommended for visual observation. It is designed for imaging with cameras that have spectral responses well beyond human vision.

Antlia 3nm CaK Filter

I have had the filter for a few weeks and several occasions to try it out, and it is producing images as expected. Its performance is similar to the Baader K-Line that I already had, and though the bandpass is narrower than the Baader filter both are still too wide a bandpass to show any detail that is available in the higher end CaK filters. It is a thin filter housing so I have no problem mounting it in my ZWO filter wheel with other broadband solar filters (Continuum & G-Band).

Still a good introductory filter to start imaging the sun in he near UV wavelengths.
