Description
This is the full set of the SHO 3nm by Antlia.
SII Specs
Key Features:
- High Transmittance: Designed to deliver 88% transmission at the 671.6nm line, providing maximum signal and well-defined nebulae structures.
- Optimized Design: Guarantees >88% transmission within 1nm range of the center bandwidth, suitable for both long focal ratios and fast optical systems.
- Fast Optics Compatibility: Compatible with systems as fast as f/3, including Hyperstar and RASA, with minimal loss in emission signal.
- Outstanding Blocking: OD5 (0.001%) out of band blocking specification ensures an excellent SNR (signal to noise ratio) and effective cut-off rate to minimize interference from other wavelengths.
- Halo Minimization: Designed to minimize halos around bright stars for sharper images.
- Single Substrate: Utilizes a single substrate to eliminate internal reflections.
- Versatile Application: Suitable for SII Emission Nebulae, Planetary Nebulae, Wolf-Rayet Nebulae, and Supernova Remnants.
- Adaptable: Ideal for use in both light-polluted areas and dark sites, extending imaging time even under moonlight.
- Optical Reliability: Superior optical reliability reduces the need for extensive post-image processing.
- Edge Blackening: All Antlia narrowband Pro filters are edge blackened to eliminate internal reflections from stray light.
