Integrating 26 624 pairs of video frames, the authors have mapped the circular polarization in an active-region filament against the solar disk by using a traditional magnetograph working at the Hβ line. This filament, offset the disk center, appeared at the boundary of three decayed active regions. It was quiet and away from any strong enhanced network. The mapped circular polarization in the filament has an average polarization degree of 1.1×10-3 with a measurement precision of 4×10-4. The mapping of circular polarization in a filament may provide a supplementary diagnosis of the filament magnetic field, in addition to the mapping of linear polarization via the Hanle effect. However, the interpretation of the circular polarization requires treatment of the full quantum problem of Zeeman and non-Zeeman effects of Stokes line profiles.
