Omegon Pro SII CCD Filter 1.25 inch

Omegon Pro SII CCD Filter 1.25 inch: the third channel of the Hubble palette

This narrowband filter exclusively transmits light around 672 nanometers, the emission line of ionized sulfur. For astrophotographers who want to capture the full Hubble palette with a monochrome camera, this is the missing channel.

Capture weak sulfur structures

Due to the high peak transmission within a very narrow band, even the weakest sulfur structures become visible, while street lighting and moonlight are effectively suppressed. This allows you to capture high-contrast images even from light-polluted locations.

Typical goals

SII is shown to great advantage on emission nebulae such as the Rosette Nebula, the Crab Nebula and IC 443, the Jellyfish Nebula. Combined with H-alpha and OIII, you can build a full-color image from them.

Featured accessories

Mounted in a durable 1.25-inch aluminum cell and combinable with the Pro H-alpha and Pro OIII filters in the same size.

For whom yes and for whom no

• ✓ Astrophotographers with a monochrome CCD or CMOS camera
• ✓ Who wants to complete the Hubble palette
• ✓ Owners of a 1.25-inch filter wheel
• ✗ Visual observers: SII yields virtually nothing to the eye
• ✗ Who doesn't have H-alpha and OIII yet: start with that
