Optolong 2″ Filter Set with H-Alpha, SII, and OIII Filters
Enjoy the best of Optolong’s 2″ deep sky filters with this 3-piece set! The Optolong deep sky filter set includes the 2″ 7nm Hydrogen-Alpha filter, 6.5nm Sulfur-II filter, and 6.5nm Oxygen-III filter. All filters are housed in a 2″ cell.
All Optolong filters in this set are made with Schott glass that has been multi-coated with an ion-assisted deposition technology to ensure scratch resistance and stability on the central wavelength or CWL. The filter cells are made of lightweight, strong metal and are CNC machined, sand-blasted, black anodized, and then laser engraved. The result is a super thin filter cell that will produce a clear aperture of 45mm.
Optolong 7nm H-Alpha Filter – The Optolong H-Alpha 7nm is an extremely narrow emission-line filter that works by allowing a 7nm bandwidth of light, centered on the 656nm wavelength through, and blocking the transmission of contrast-killing light pollution wavelengths. Wavelengths that are responsible for natural light pollution, or skyglow, are drastically reduced, as is artificial light pollution caused by high and low-pressure sodium vapor and mercury vapor lights. The result is a high contrast image that reveals the H-alpha line in all its glory.
Optolong 6.5nm SII Filter – The Optolong Sulfur-II 6.5nm Extra-Narrowband Filter transmits a 6.5nm bandwidth of light that is centered at 672nm and drastically reduces other transmissions, including wavelengths of light that are responsible for light pollution (both artificial and natural). Like all Optolong filters that are designated as “CCD”, this SII filter also blocks infrared wavelengths from 700nm to 1100nm so you don’t need a separate IR-Cut filter.
Optolong 6.5nm OIII Filter – The Optolong Oxygen III 6.5nm Extra-Narrowband Filter transmits a 6.5nm bandwidth of light that is centered at 500nm and drastically reduces other transmissions, including wavelengths of light that are responsible for light pollution (both artificial and natural). Like all Optolong filters that are designated as “CCD”, this OIII also blocks infrared wavelengths from 700nm to 1100nm so you don’t need a separate IR-Cut filter.
