  • 98% transmission (measured value)
  • IR blocking out to 1200 nm
  • 2.5mm and 3.0mm filter thickness options
  • Configurations:
    • 50.8mm for filter wheels (QHY/ZWO/Atik)
    • 48mm and 52mm mounted
    • Camera body drop-in (DI)

The IDAS Ha-6.8 family includes 3 options - STD (Standard), HS (High Speed) and UHS (Ultra High Speed) with bandpasses adjusted to accommodate the f-ratio of different speed astrographs. In addition each class comes in two different glass thicknesses - 2.5 mm & 3.0 mm.

  • STD - recommended for most regular scopes
  • HS - ideal for the optics between F2.0 and F3.5 such as Takahashi Epsilon Series, RASA11, and standard camera lenses
