Description
SII filters are narrowband filters designed for nebula photography, passing light at a wavelength of 672nm with a bandpass of 3nm. They are ideal for capturing most emission nebulae, planetary nebulae, and supernova remnants.
If you want to replicate 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 a key addition to your astrophotography setup 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 enable tri-color narrowband imaging that provides the distinct Hubble-like appearance for many emission nebulae. These filters can also be used during moonlit nights, ensuring your astrophotography sessions continue uninterrupted.
