- Advanced Dual-Band Filter Technology: The Altair Dual-Band ULTRA Sii/Oii is a cutting-edge narrowband filter with a tight 6nm FWHM Bandpass, designed for enhancing nebula imaging.
- Effective Light Pollution Suppression: Incorporates Altair V2 coatings, highly effective against LED light pollution, offering deep blocking factors of OD>6 below 440nm and OD5 in the visual range.
- Exceptional Transmission Rates: Demonstrates impressive transmission rates of 93% for both Oiii (6nm bandwidth) and Sii (5.5nm bandwidth), with precise tolerances of 0.5nm and 0.5%.
- Ideal for Diverse Imaging Conditions: Perfect for imaging in moonlight, light pollution, or dark-sky conditions, providing total channel control in narrowband-style imaging.
- Certified Individual Testing: Each filter undergoes individual spectrographic testing with 0.1nm true resolution, ensuring authenticity and superior performance, unlike generic test reports from other brands.
- DualBand Ha/Oiii Emission Suppression: Transmits only Sii and Oiii light from emission nebulae, effectively suppressing unwanted light, ideal for narrowband Bi-Colour imaging.
- Versatile Imaging Capabilities: Capture key emission nebulae bands simultaneously while suppressing extraneous light. Compatible with color CMOS cameras for varied imaging scenarios.
- Increased Data Acquisition: Acquire more data efficiently, expanding your imaging window, even in challenging conditions like summer nights.
- Complementary Use with Ha Oiii Filter: Combine with Ha Oiii version for doubled Oiii data capture per session, enabling true SHO Hubble style imaging with color cameras.
- Steep Bandpass for Maximum Contrast: Features a steep 6nm bandpass for Oiii and 5.5nm for Sii, enhancing contrast in extreme light pollution conditions.
- Halo Suppression and Compatibility: No reported halos in testing, suitable for both One Shot Colour (OSC) CMOS and mono cameras.
- Optimized for Various Telescopes: Performs best at F4.8 or slower focal ratios, but can be used up to F3.6 with minimal contrast impact.
- Standard Filter Thread and Specifications: Fits standard M48x0.75mm thread, compatible with various holders and wheels. Specifications include two bands, Oiii and Sii, with 93% transmission and OD5 blocking.
- Frequently Asked Questions: Explains the functionality of OSC Narrowband filters, compatibility with different cameras, and the concept of DualBand filtering.
- Availability Note: High demand may lead to temporary suspension of orders to maintain production quality. Specifications and prices are subject to change without notice.
Safety Reminder: Always ensure proper solar viewing safety measures when using filters for solar imaging.
