H-Alpha Filter 82mm for DSLR Camera Lens

The 656nm H-Alpha Filter is essential for capturing the deep red hues of emission nebulae. This filter is perfect for photographing star-forming regions and large nebulae, such as the Orion Nebula or the Lagoon Nebula. The H-Alpha filter provides a sharp contrast between the glowing gas clouds and the surrounding space, making it easier to distinguish fine details.

OIII Filter 82mm for DSLR Camera Lens

The 500nm OIII Filter is designed to capture the blue-green light emitted by ionized oxygen in nebulae. This filter is essential for bringing out the stunning details of planetary nebulae and supernova remnants. By isolating the oxygen III emission line, this filter allows you to reveal the intricate structures within these celestial objects that are often invisible in broadband images.

SII Filter 82mm for DSLR Camera Lens

The 672nm SII Filter targets the sulfur II emission line, adding an extra dimension to your astrophotographs. This filter is particularly useful for enhancing the subtle red-pink shades in nebulae, providing a richer and more complete color palette. The SII filter is often used in combination with the OIII and H-Alpha filters to create detailed and balanced tricolor images of the night sky.

SHO Color Mapping

The SHO Filter Set Kit 82mm allows you to utilize the Hubble Palette, a specific color mapping technique used in astrophotography. This technique assigns specific colors to narrowband filters commonly used with telescopes:

• Sulfur II (SII): Mapped to red
• Hydrogen-alpha (Hα): Mapped to green
• Oxygen III (OIII): Mapped to blue

This color mapping technique helps to reveal the cosmic beauty hidden in the vastness of space, allowing you to create visually striking and colorful representations of astronomical objects.
