It transmits a narrow 7nm ±0.5nm band on the SII emission of nebulae while rejecting the rest of the spectrum, recording the sulfur channel used in Hubble-palette imaging with high contrast even under moderate light pollution. The 2\" format provides full illumination for larger imaging circles. The filter uses a high-quality optical glass substrate with a multi-layer composite coating.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eWho It's For.\u003c\/strong\u003e This filter suits imagers running larger-sensor monochrome cameras and 2\" filter systems who want to capture the SII channel of emission nebulae and complete a tricolor (SHO) narrowband dataset, or image through moonlight and light pollution without vignetting the field.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eKey Features \u0026amp; Design.\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eNarrow 7nm passband:\u003c\/strong\u003e a 7nm ±0.5nm FWHM isolates the SII emission and rejects most skyglow and broadband light pollution.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eDeep blocking:\u003c\/strong\u003e OD3 blocking (less than 0.1% off-band transmission) with NIR cutoff across 700–1100nm suppresses stray light.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eHigh in-band throughput:\u003c\/strong\u003e approximately 90% peak transmittance preserves faint sulfur signal.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003e2\" clear aperture:\u003c\/strong\u003e the larger format supports bigger sensors and fast focal ratios with even illumination.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eMulti-layer composite coating:\u003c\/strong\u003e on a high-quality optical glass substrate for consistent response.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eOptical\/Mechanical Design.\u003c\/strong\u003e The filter passes a 7nm ±0.5nm FWHM band on the SII emission line and holds OD3 off-band blocking (\u0026lt;0.1% transmission) with the near-infrared blocked from 700–1100nm. Peak in-band transmittance is about 90%. Both surfaces are polished to 1\/4 lambda surface accuracy on a 2.0 ±0.03 mm optical glass substrate carrying a multi-layer composite coating. The anodized cell uses M48×0.75 (2\") threads and measures 7.5mm overall (5mm body plus 2.5mm thread).\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eRecommended Uses.\u003c\/strong\u003e Narrowband imaging of emission nebulae, HII regions, and supernova remnants with larger sensors; the SII channel in tricolor (SHO) Hubble-palette processing; and deep-sky capture during bright-moon or light-polluted conditions.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eCompatibility \u0026amp; Accessory Notes.\u003c\/strong\u003e The M48×0.75 cell fits standard 2\" filter wheels, drawers, and threaded accessories.
