DayStar Hydrogen Alpha Quantum Filters
The DayStar Quantum Series incorporates ALL of the desired features for today's solar observer or researcher... and then some. The heart of the Quantum Series is a precision heated housing that precisely controls the filter bandpass. Operation couldn't be simpler, just plug it in and a green light indicates when the filter is on band.
The housing operates at 12VDC for field or battery use, included is a 100-240 power supply with US, European, UK and Australian adapter wall plates, live LCD readout of the filter's wavelength output (accurate to 0.1Å) and red /blue wing shift buttons that can precisely tune wavelength up or down for Doppler studies. The unit even includes a serial port for computer control capability for on-screen display of filter readout. The new Quantum Series body style is all about ease of operation.... total simplicity.
Precise Bandpass Control
Quantum Series filters provide a precise control of filter bandpass. The quantum filter body is actually a small oven to control the filter temperature the resulting bandpass. Over the ambient temperature range of 0 - 45 degrees C., the oven will control the on-band operational temperature to ± 0.1 degree C. or equivalent to ± 0.02Å wavelength tracking. The filter may be controlled by an onboard user interface or via a Windows based application using a serial interface.
