More About the Astronomik 1.25" SII 6 nm CCD Filter

For CCD astrophotography operations, this 1.25" SII 6 nm CCD Filter from Astronomik is the ideal narrowband filter. Using this filter guarantees 90% transmission or more at SII (671.7nm-673.0nm). This filter is made to Astronomik's exacting standards. While transmission ratings may vary between each filter, you are guaranteed a transmission rating greater than 90%, with a typical transmission rating of around 94% for the 6 nm SII. The specific T-Max will be listed on the filter case. You can rest easy knowing that every unit is thoroughly tested and guaranteed to meet Astronomik's stellar benchmark of performance!

Astronomik SII CCD filters highlight the contrast between objects that emit in the ionized sulfur (SII) line and the background sky. This filter also serves as an excellent filter for combating light pollution as it offers total suppression of artificial sources of light such as mercury and sodium-vapor street lamps, a common cause of light pollution. The Astronomik SII CCD Filter's high quality substrate enables you to see razor sharp stars identical to those you would see with the telescope you typically use.

All superfluous wavelengths in the visible and IR bands of the spectrum are completely obstructed with the Astronomik 1.25" SII 6 nm CCD Filter. Parfocal with all other Astronomik filters and diffraction limited to keep the optical performance of your telescope from degrading. The coatings on this filter provide remarkable protection from scratching as well as high humidity and aging effects. The Astronomik 1.25" SII 6 nm Filter is delivered in a durable, high-quality plastic filter case.
