Unique opportunity to purchase an observatory class Barr Associates Ca K filter

Post by christian viladrich »

I’m selling my Ca K Barr Associates filter.

This is a two-cavity 2.6 A FWHM filter. DayStar or Lunt Ca K filters are only one cavity (meaning less blocking of photospheric light).

Measurements of the filter are presented here :

Outside diameter is about 30 mm, and free aperture about 28 mm. Lunt Ca K 1800 is only 18 mm in free aperture.

The thermal stability of the filter is excellent at 0.001 nm/°C.

A number of images taken with this filter are presented in Solar Astronomy Book. More are presented in my website. For example :
