This would give a FWHM of 2 x 35A = 70A which is the Baader spec.

Thx Ken. So if the 50% transmission line passes through 6545A and knowing that the max transmission for this filter is probably around ~88-90% (from Baader literature for the 7nm CCD) that makes the Ha transmission not that great, around 65-70% very roughly.... Yes? If so, as an aside, that's quite a revelation, since when you look at the data when comparing filters, the graphs do not have such fine resolution and clearly could lead to the wrong impression of what represents a good filter for a particular application/ budget.
