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.

Please Note:

  • Not recommended for solar observing and imaging.
  • Not suitable for visual observation.
  • DO NOT LOOK AT THE SUN WITH ANTLIA FILTERS; serious eye damage may result.
  • Basic Substrate: Schott optical substrate
  • Filter Thickness: 2mm+/-0.05mm for 1.25'' mounted
  • FWHM (Full width at half maximum): 3nm
  • CWL (Central Wavelength): 671.6nm
  • Peak Transmission: >88%
  • Blocking: > 5 OD (0.001% out of band blocking) @ 300-1000nm
  • Surface Quality: S/D (scratch/dig)= 60/40 (Refer to MIL-O-13830)
  • Transmitted Wavefront: Lambda/4 or better
  • Parallelism: Less than 30 arcsec
  • **Single / Non-glued substrate
  • Warranty: 3-years against delamination

HA Specs

Key Features:

  • Optimized FWHM: 3nm bandpass for heightened contrast in nebulae and other emission objects.
  • High Transmission Rate: Delivers 88% transmission at the H-alpha 656.3nm line for optimal signal capture.
  • Versatile Use: Compatible with both long focal ratios and fast optical systems, including Hyperstar and RASA.
  • Effective Blue-Shift Performance: Suitable for systems as fast as f/3, ensuring minimal loss in emission signal.
  • Superior SNR and Blocking: OD5 blocking specification (0.001%) minimizes interference from other wavelengths, enhancing the signal-to-noise ratio.
  • Minimized Star Halos: Specially designed to reduce halos for clearer, sharper images.
  • Safety Precautions: Not recommended for solar observing or visual observation; direct solar observation can result in serious eye damage.

Quality Assurance and Design Philosophy:

  • Advanced Design: Focus on blocking and band-pass parameters to achieve optimal results, with a strong out-of-band blocking rate.
  • Individual Testing: Each filter is rigorously tested and scanned to meet high-performance standards.
  • Premium Quality: Offers excellent contrast with dark backgrounds and high H-alpha transmission, albeit at a higher production cost.
  • Competitive Pricing: Provides a favorable price-to-performance ratio compared to similar premium filters in the market.
  • Substrate: Schott optical material for premium quality.
  • Filter Thickness: 2mm ±0.05mm, ideal for 1.25'' mounts.
  • FWHM: Narrow 3nm for precise filtration.
  • CWL: Targeted at 656.3nm for H-alpha emissions.
  • Peak Transmission: Over 88%, ensuring clear captures.
  • Blocking Efficiency: Greater than 5 OD at 300-1000nm wavelengths.
  • Surface Quality: 60/40 scratch/dig as per MIL-O-13830.
  • Wavefront Accuracy: Lambda/4 or higher.
  • Parallelism: Maintained under 30 arcsec.
  • Construction: Non-glued, single substrate for durability.

Warranty:

  • Duration: 3 years, protecting against delamination.
