Astronomik SII 12 nm CCD Clip-Filter EOS XL (SKU: 10202095 / 8h00lr) is a narrowband filter designed for imaging nebulae with sulphur SII emission. It significantly increases contrast between objects emitting at 671.7 nm and 673 nm and the sky background, both under light-polluted skies and at dark observing sites. This clip-in version is designed for Canon EOS XL cameras.

The filter selectively transmits the SII emission lines (671.7 nm and 673 nm) while effectively blocking unwanted light at other wavelengths from UV to IR. It completely suppresses emission lines from sodium (Na) and mercury (Hg) lamps, all natural airglow lines, and most interfering moonlight, significantly reducing the effects of light pollution.

In areas with low light pollution, the image background is usually limited by the sensor’s dark current rather than sky brightness. Therefore, further suppression of the sky background by reducing the bandwidth (smaller FWHM) does not necessarily reveal additional object detail compared to the 12 nm version.

Astronomik narrowband filters enable high-contrast astrophotography even under difficult observing conditions. Completing a filter set with an SII filter allows creation of images in the HSO (H-alpha, SII, OIII) palette used in emission nebula imaging.
