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.

plot at the bottom of the page.
Note:In December 2003 a replacement for this filter (k1046) was purchased. See below for a comparison between the two filters.

A comparison of this filter with the newer version of this filter (k1046):
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) and the CTIO 4m (f/2.9). At the KPNO
4m f/3.1 the properties of this filter are:
CWL=8087A, FWHM=71A, PEAK TRANSMISSION=93%.
