Description
SII filters are narrowband filters specifically designed for nebula photography. They pass light at a wavelength of 672nm with a bandpass of 3nm, making them perfect for capturing most emission nebulae, planetary nebulae, and supernova remnants.
If you aim to replicate the iconic appearance of Hubble Space Telescope (HST) images, such as the renowned “Pillars of Creation” in the Eagle Nebula (Messier 16), the SII filter is an essential 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 produces the distinctive Hubble-like look for many emission nebulae. These filters can also be used during moonlit nights, allowing you to continue imaging without delays caused by lunar brightness.
