The Baader H-Beta 5.5nm filter is specifically designed for visual observation of faint emission nebulae under bright skies. Unlike H-alpha filters, which are extremely difficult to use visually due to the lack of sensitivity of our eyes at the deep red end of the spectrum, H-beta emissions are very close to where our eyes are most sensitive. Because of quantum-mechanical coupling with H-Alpha, you can see many of the same structures through an H-Beta filter. This makes it act like a visual H-Alpha filter.
