Optolong Pro Veil SII Filter 3nm 2 inch: a single, maximally isolated emission line<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n

This filter isolates the SII emission line around 672 nm with a full width at half maximum of 3 nm. All other light, including streetlights and moonlight, is blocked. This makes the sky background extremely dark and maximizes the visibility of nebular structures at this wavelength. At 3 nm, this is Optolong's narrowest SII variant.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Narrowband filters are the foundation of monochrome camera photography: you photograph the lines separately and combine them into color composites, such as the well-known Hubble Palette (SHO).<\/p>\n\n\n\n

What you use this filter for<\/h4>\n\n\n\n

Made for the sulfur channel of Hubble palette (SHO) recordings; the 3 nm passband also brings out faint sulfur structures. Because light pollution is virtually completely blocked, you can also photograph from the city and in moonlight with this.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Technology<\/h4>\n\n\n\n

The Schott glass is finely optically polished and features multi-layer ion-assisted coatings: high transmission in the passband, strong blocking outside of it, and a central wavelength that remains stable with temperature changes. The thin metal mount minimizes vignetting.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Featured accessories<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

Combine this filter with the other lines (H-alpha, OIII, and SII) for complete narrowband composites. A bright focus filter speeds up focusing.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
