    ANTLIA Narrowband 7nm SII Prime Filter - 36mm Unmounted (glass only)

    The Antlia SII Prime narrowband filter optimizes the FWHM (full width half maximum) to 7nm bandpass. The suppression of optical density is (OD)4 on unwanted wavelengths. The excellent optical coating characteristics found in the Antlia 3nm Pro series has been incorporated into the 7nm Prime narrowband filters. The result is that these filters deliver superior SNR(signal to noise ratio) and better contrast in your images. Antlia SII 7nm Prime filters are designed to deliver 90% transmission at the 671.6nm line that provides you with the maximum signal to reveal the faintest SII nebulae structures.

    The out of band blocking specification is rated OD4 (0.01%) which delivers an excellent SNR(signal to noise ratio) and effective cut off rate to minimize interference from other wavelengths. Improved sharp cut off astrophotography 7nm Prime filters are designed to minimize halos around bright stars. Antlia 7nm Prime filters can be used with nearly all systems as fast as f/2 with minimal loss in emission signal and meets the requirements of fast optics.

    Application and Performance:

    • 90% transmittance at Central Wavelength SII 671.6nm
    • With wider FWHM, 7nm Prime narrowband filters can be used with fast optics of f/2 with minimal loss of signal
    • Steep spectral profile minimizes halos around bright stars
    • A single substrate to eliminate internal reflections
    • Narrowband Objects: SII Emission Nebulae, Planetary, Wolf-Rayet Nebulae and Supernova Remnants
    • Use in light polluted areas and dark sites
    • All Antlia Narrowband filters are edge blackened to eliminate internal reflections from stray light
    • Superior optical reliability reduces post image processing
    • This filter is effective for deep sky objects that contain SII emissions

    Technical Specifications:

    Not Permitted:

    DO NOT LOOK AT THE SUN WITH THIS FILTER
    Serious eye damage will result if you fail to observe the warning

    IMPORTANT NOTE: 

    Antlia made huge efforts to minimise halos around bright stars and achieved very good results by doing so, therefore you will most likely rarely if ever see halos, however this is a very complicated topic as halos can be caused by various elements in the optical train. There are thousands of possible scenarios and they simply cannot promise that there will be no case when some level of haloing will appear.  The Antlia filters are extremely good and represent very good value, but only much more expensive filters (like Astrodon and Chroma) are likely to provide halo-free images. However in most cases Antlia filters would offer a near-to-perfect solution.
