An H-beta filter was also manufactured in the same high quality and technology as the new Baader CMOS-optimized (Ultra) Narrowband and Highspeed Filters.
Now I was allowed to test the new 5.5nm narrow filter. Due to the slightly wider design, this filter is intended for aperture ratios from f/2 to f/10.
And I can now report that this new filter also works perfectly at f / 1.9.

As a test object I chose the Sadr region, which also emits significantly in H-beta.
The H-beta data were mapped to a deeper blue relative to the OIII data.

My hope is that this new H-Beta filter will enrich the SHO Hubble palette.

In the GIF animation I show the following sequence of data:
- S2HaO3Hb with LRGB-Stars
- S2HaO3Hb starless
- S2 starless
- Ha starless
- O3 starless
- Hb starless

The “AstroBin Image of the Day and Top Picks”, or IOTD/TP, is a long-running system to promote beautiful, interesting, peculiar, or otherwise amazing astrophotographs, with a focus on technical excellence. Learn more.

Submitted The date and time when you submitted this image for IOTD/TP consideration.	...
Views by Submitters (available since September 19th, 2023) Every image is assigned to 50% of available Submitters. In the event that at least 80% of them don't view the image before its time in the IOTD/TP process expires, it's assigned to the other 50% of Submitters and the process begins anew.
Promotions by Submitters When 3 distinct Submitters promote the image, it moves on to the next stage of the process: evaluation for Top Pick status. This requirement, in addition to anonymization of images and distribution to only a subset of them, prevents biases and ensures that the best images are selected.
Promotions by Reviewers When 3 distinct Reviewers promote the image, it moves on to the next stage of the process: evaluation for IOTD status.
Early dismissal Staff members have a lot of images to inspect on a daily basis, and they can dismiss images if they believe they don't meet the requirements for IOTD/TP selection. If an image is dismissed 5 times, it's removed from the process. This streamlines the process and ensures that any bias present in promotions could be overruled by other staff members.
