Measurements of Lunt Ca K BF and Coronado BF

Post by christian viladrich »

Hello,

I've just found on my HD these two measurements we made a few years ago with an Ocean Optics HR4000 spectrometer.

The first one is about "Lunt Ca K BF". If fact, I think it was not the BF but rather the large diameter filter at the entrance of the tube attached to the diagonal. It looks like a 12 nm filter:

The second is about an old Coronado BF 10 (US made). It looks rather large, about 12 A FWHM :

A more recent Coronado BF seems to be about 7 A FWHM. This one was measured at a larger spectral resolution with Sol'Ex spectrometer :

The measurements of other various filters (including Deep-Sky filters and some sunglasses) are available here :
