Astronomik SII 6 nm CCD MaxFR Filter - Nikon Z XL Clip

Astronomik SII 6 nm CCD Clip Filter for Nikon Z-Series Cameras

• Astronomik SII Narrowband CCD MaxFR Filter in a full frame clip format for mirrorless Nikon Z5, Z6, Z7, Z8, and Z9 camera models.

• Nikon Z-series clip filters can be both inserted and removed quickly and easily, and are positioned securely in the camera without stress during use.

• Filter use does not depend on any camera adjustments.

• Transmits ionized sulfur (SII) light while cutting off the full remainder of the visible spectrum plus IR at the same time.

• Extremely narrow 6 nm FWHM bandwidth.

• 6 nm bandwidth MaxFR filters operate unconstrained from f/2.2 to f/1:8, with guaranteed performance data of around 90% peak transmission at f/2.

• This filter is best-suited for imaging supernova remnants and planetary nebulae as it obstructs all undesired light pollution.

• Parfocal with all other Astronomik filters.

• Multi-layer coatings, common to all Astronomik filters, fully protect this filter from the damaging effects of scratching, aging, and high humidity.

• Diffraction limited, this filter will not compromise the optical performance of your telescope.

• Made in Germany, a country known for their high quality optics!

More About the Astronomik SII 6 nm CCD Filter

For CCD astrophotography operations, this SII 6 nm CCD Nikon Z-XL Clip 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 enhance the contrast between objects, in this case between objects in the ionized sulfur (SII) emission line and the background sky. Also optimal for combating light pollution, this filter blocks artificial light from sources such as mercury and sodium-vapor street lamps, common light pollution culprits. The supreme quality of the Astronomik SII 6 nm CCD substrate allows you to observe the same razor sharp stars you would typically see from your normal telescope.

Complete occlusion of undesired visible and IR band spectral wavelengths is enabled by this Astronomik Nikon Z XL Clip formatted SII 6 nm CCD Filter. Parfocal with all other filters produced by Astronomik and diffraction limited to maintain your telescope's optical performance. Coatings offer strong protection from scratching as well as the impacts of aging and high humidity. This filter is shipped in a durable plastic storage container of superior quality.

Astronomik Nikon Z Full Frame Clip Filter System

Astronomik XL clip filter designed for Nikon Z-series mirrorless full-frame camera bodies. Optimized for use with both telescopes and normal camera lenses, this clip filter is confirmed to be compatible with the Nikon Z5, Z6, Z7, Z8, and Z9 models through previous testing. Rests securely in a stress-free environment within the camera following an extremely quick and easy installation process. Operation requires no additional camera adjustments.

Astronomik MaxFR Emission Line Filters

Optimized for use with extremely fast focal ratio telescopes, Astronomik's novel series of MaxFR emission line filters are specifically designed to work with such systems, satisfying a demand that continues to grow. Requirements for deep sky astrophotography with Celestron RASAs, Takahashi Epsilon Astrographs, and other especially fast telescopes, are fully met with the use of these filters. Astronomik MaxFR filters are available for the three most significant emission lines - hydrogen (H-Alpha), oxygen (OIII), and sulfur (SII) - with an FWHM bandwidth of either 12 nm or 6 nm.

Highest Transmission:

Optimal out-of-band blocking over the entire wavelength range from UV up to IR is provided by the popular MFR coating technique built into each MaxFR filter. The benefits of this new design from Astronomik include exceptionally high contrast, diminished stray light, razor-sharp stars, and a complete lack of halos. For the finest quality of data, Astronomik MFR narrowband emission line filters start with the best material for processing into an amazing final image!
