Description
SII filters are narrowband filters designed specifically for nebula photography. They pass light at a wavelength of 672nm with a bandpass of 3nm, making them ideal for capturing most emission nebulae, planetary nebulae, and supernova remnants.
If you want to achieve the iconic look of Hubble Space Telescope (HST) images, such as the famous “Pillars of Creation” in the Eagle Nebula (Messier 16), the SII filter is an essential addition to your collection after H-alpha and OIII filters. Like the H-alpha filter, the SII filter is a deep red filter near 672nm. Together, H-alpha, OIII, and SII filters allow for tri-color narrowband imaging that delivers the distinctive Hubble-like appearance for many emission nebulae. These filters can also be used during moonlit nights, ensuring your astrophotography sessions are not limited by lunar brightness.
