More About the Astronomik 36 mm SII 6 nm CCD Filter

For CCD astrophotography applications, this 36 mm SII 6 nm CCD Filter from Astronomik is the optimal narrowband filter. Features a reduced 6 nm FWHM (full width at half maximum). 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. In addition, this filter serves as an excellent light pollution adversary as it obstructs artificial light from sources such as mercury and sodium vapor street lamps, as well as skyglow. The Astronomik SII CCD Filter's high quality substrate enables you to see needle sharp stars identical to those you would see via your regular telescope.

Complete blockage of all unwanted wavelengths in the visible and IR bands of the spectrum is enabled by the Astronomik 36 mm SII 6 nm CCD Filter. As with all filters from Astronomik, this filter is parfocal with all other Astronomik filters. It is also diffraction limited so it won't compromise the optical performance of your telescope. Coatings keep this SII CCD filter from inducing scratches and other damaging effects from aging and high humidity. All Astronomik filters are delivered in a long-lasting plastic filter case of supreme quality.
