The Chroma S-II, H-alpha, O-III 8 nm 2" mounted filter set is a high-grade narrowband filter set designed for astrophotography of emission objects. The set includes the three main lines used in SHO imaging: S-II, H-alpha and O-III. The filters allow selective imaging of emission nebulae, planetary nebulae and supernova remnants while reducing the influence of light outside the selected spectral ranges, including part of urban light pollution.

Key features

• set of three narrowband filters for SHO astrophotography
• includes S-II, H-alpha and O-III filters with a nominal 8 nm transmission band
• designed for imaging emission nebulae, planetary nebulae and supernova remnants
• enables deep-sky imaging in selected emission lines
• reduces the influence of light outside the transmission band, making imaging easier also under urban light pollution
• 2" mounted version
• intended for demanding astrophotographic applications, especially with monochrome cameras
