Product Description

Narrowband filter does not eliminate the effects of light pollution or increase the object’s brightness. In many cases, they increase the contrast between nebula and night sky, not brightening the nebula.

It can reduce the transmission of certain wavelengths of light, specifically those produced by artificial light including mercury vapor, and both high and low pressure sodium vapor lights and the unwanted natural light caused by neutral oxygen emission in our atmosphere (i.e. skyglow).

Form 2018, ZWO Made a progress on narrowband filters with the new standard, provide better performance.

Technical Parameter:

Name: ZWO New narrowband 1.25″ filter

Size: 1.25″

Thickness: 5.5mm+2.5mm(thread)

Glass thickness: 1.85mm

Thread: M28.5*0.6 male thread

The ZWO H-Alpha filter has a bandpass of  7nm and passes light at 656nm  wavelength, light transmission rate comes up to 80%. Best choice of narrowband H-alpha astrophotography filter for high-contrast imaging and revealing rich details of the nebula even in areas with strong light pollution, just prepare to experience the infinite fun with it!

Ha

 

The ZWO narrowband S-II 7nm filter passes light at 672nm wavelength with a bandpass of 7nm which is designed for nebula observation. It is suitable for visual observation on most emission nebulae, planetary nebulae and supernova remnants, use it with H-alpha and OIII narrowband filters (SHO Set) for tricolor CCD astrophotography.

SII

 

The ZWO narrowband O-III 7nm filter is designed for nebula observation allowing the 7nm bandwidth of light centered on a wavelength of 500nm through,  which corresponds to OIII emission lines, blocking out all other light.  Adding the ZWO O-III Narrowband filter to your imaging collection will help you go beyond the RGB imaging and will help capture your favorite nebulas in a totally new light, no matter how polluted your skies may be!

    Will these filters fit in the ASI1600GT filter wheel without hitting the camera housing? – (The filter description says the threads are 2.5mm. But the ASI1600GT description says: The thread must be “shorter than 2.5mm” to avoid the filter wheel striking the camera housing.

      Sorry for the inconvenience, the ‘shorter than’ should be ‘not more than’ , we updated our website.
      The zwo 1.25″ filters can be used with ASI1600GT.

    Hi, i have three questions: does 1.25″ filter size works with Asi294 and Zwo EFW with a F/4.8 systen with 72mm aperture? What is the clear size of the 1.25″? What is the distance between filter and wheel? Thanks!!!

      No. The telescope should be >F7.0 in this case.

    Why there are no way to distinguish old from new filters? If there were an indication like v2 on the box or even better, on the filters, it would be reassuring when you just paid a lot of money for new filters or also for the aftermarket… It will be easy for crooks to sell old filters as new…

    Is there any plans to change the glass for the OIII filter like you did for the Ha and SII? If not, why not? The reviews show significant improvement in the Ha and SII filters, but the OIII filter is still causing issues with artifacts and halos. See the very review that you reference on this site. Seems like you are so close to having good filter set but for some unknown reason quit before completing the set.

      OIII filter is quite different, glass base of HA and SII can not make OIII wave length pass it. So the halo will be more obvious than Ha and SII, even we already use higher standard to produce OIII filter.
      We still in R&D to figure out how to make it better, I’m sure in the further we could make a perfect set of narrowband filters.

    I have a new ASI294 Pro Colour camera. Interested in a H Alpha filter to enhance Nebula like Orion and Carina …red Nebula. Does that mean the filter will block the Debayer Green and Blue meaning I will get only every 4th red cell ? Also would it be best to position the filter before the ASI294 but after the Off Axis Guider as there would be stars lost from view?

      Yes. The Ha filter will block the green and red light, so it would be the best to put the OAG in the front.

    Why does the filter side direction (to telescope vs. to detector) matter ?

      :

      Yes, because the coating of two sides is different, wrong side face to telescope will cause more refection problem, such as halos.
