Hydrogen-Alpha (H-Alpha) filters are used in astrophotography and exclude all light except for a small band at 656.3 nm, which is the wavelength emitted when a hydrogen atom’s single electron drops from its second to its first excited state. Circular filters for telescope mounting and square filters that attach directly to a camera are available.
