Description
SII filters are narrowband filters designed for nebula photography, passing light at a wavelength of 672nm with a bandpass of 3nm. These filters are 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 a crucial addition to your astrophotography 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 enable 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 imaging sessions are not interrupted by lunar brightness.
