It is specifically engineered to enhance imaging contrast for Plages, Light Bridges, features prominent in the CaK 393.3nm line and sunspots.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe Antlia 5Å Ultra Narrow Bandpass Filter is built in, it features a clear aperture of D12mm (B1200) and a wavelength centered on the Calcium II K-Line at 393.3nm. With its ultra-narrow full width at half maximum (FWHM) of 0.5nm, it enables the capture of details in the Chromosphere.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eInstallation is similar to the Antlia CaK 3nm Solar Herschel Wedge, with the telescope\u003cspan\u003e \u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan\u003eattached at one end and the camera at the another.

additional light reduction solutions, such as ERF filters，solar safety films, lowering the telescope aperture for safe operation while using Solar Discover 5Å CaK; If without the extra light reduction solution, the Solar Discover 5Å CaK can only used with REFRACTORS up to 100mm aperture.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan\u003e\u003cimg alt=\"\"
