DayStar Combo Gemini H-Alpha - For SCT, Mak and F/15-F/30 refractors

The Gemini Combo combines H-alpha filters Prominence and Chromosphere for instant switching via a side-mounted slider. Enjoy the best of both bandwidth options in a single tool, without hardware swapping or refocusing.

Presentation

The Gemini Combo allows :

  • Easily switch between Prominence (wide bandwidth) and Chromosphere (high contrast narrow bandwidth) like an optometric test.
  • Instant observation without filter exchange or refocusing.
  • Compatible with SCT, Maksutov and refractors via optional telecentric barlows (2.8x or 4.3x).
  • Lightweight, compact all-in-one device, eliminating the need for additional adapters.
  • Internal baffles for enhanced contrast and optimized 656 nm AR coatings.

Important: for SCT and Maksutov, a front-mount energy rejection filter (ERF) is mandatory to protect the optical tube and obtain optimum performance.

Prominence versus Chromosphere

Criteria Prominence Chromosphere
Bandwidth FWHM Wider (>0.6 Å) - brighter Narrower (<0.5 Å) - better surface contrast
Filaments Difficult to observe Visible and detailed
Protuberances Very shiny blade Visible but less brilliant
Contrast Less contrast, brightness priority High contrast, ideal for chromospheric detail
Recommended use Quick visual observation Detailed observation and astrophotography

Important instructions for SCT / Maksutov

  • SCT: use an off-axis front-mount ERF with aperture reduction to protect the secondary mirror.
  • Maksutov: ERF front-mount mandatory to avoid overheating the optical tube.
  • Refractors F/15-F/30: insert the Combo Gemini directly into the bend, no additional adjustment required.
