Below is the transmission curve for this filter in parallel light.
Note that there is a shift in central wavelength when placed in
different f/ratio beams. At the KPNO 4meter f/3.1 beam this
corresponds to a shift of approximately 12 Angstroms bluer; at the
CTIO 4meter f/2.9 this corresponds to a shift of approximately 15
Angstroms bluer; at the WIYN 0.9m f/7.9 this corresponds to a shift of
approximately 5 Angstroms bluer.

Below is a plot of the transmission of this filter when used at telescopes with differing focal ratios
and central obscurations; the KPNO 4m (f/3.1), the CTIO 4m (f/2.9), and the WIYN 0.9m (f/7.9). At the KPNO 4m f/3.1 the properties of this filter are:
CWL=5006A, FWHM=56A, PEAK TRANSMISSION=76%.
