We briefly describe technical aspects and specifications of the new UKST H-alpha interference filter which is probably the largest of its kind available in astronomy. Preliminary exposures show that the filter gives excellent imaging with high overall transmission and uniformity at H-alpha wavelengths. This is achieved over a circular area of about 305 mm diameter or about 5.7 degrees (the so called `clear aperture'). The prospects for the new UKST H-alpha survey of the Southern Milky Way with this new filter are excellent.
