ToupTek Astro SHO 2" 4nm Narrowband Filter Set

4nm SHO 협대역 필터는 정확한 필터 전환, LRGB 또는 협대역 딥스카이 촬영을 지원하는 ToupTek Astro 솔루션입니다.

Narrowband filters are essential for astrophotography. The ToupTek Astro SHO filter set targets the three key ionized emission lines in stellar nurseries:

SII (671.6nm)
Hα (656.3nm)
OIII (500.7nm)

With a narrower 4nm FWHM bandpass, it precisely transmits the target light while providing stronger suppression of urban light pollution and background gradients. This also reduces band overlap, resulting in higher signal-to-noise ratio, improved contrast, and more distinct detail. It is well-suited for creating images in the Hubble Palette.

주요 기능

Precise narrowband filters suppress background noise while highlighting elemental emission structures, revealing celestial stratification and fine details.

SII SII (671.6nm | 4nm FWHM):
Enhances detection of faint signals; Significantly boosts contrast when combined with Hα.

Hα Hα (656.3nm | 4nm FWHM):
Optimized for hydrogen regions; primary channel for nebular morphology.

OIII OIII (500.7nm | 4nm FWHM):
Targets high-energy zones; reveals blue-green nebular details.

ToupTek filters feature high-purity quartz glass substrates with >90% transmittance. They deliver strong blue-violet transmission and thermal stability, ideal for demanding astronomical imaging.

Using IAD (Ion Assisted Deposition) coating technology, which is more costly than conventional vacuum evaporation but produces denser and more uniform coatings that are durable, corrosion-resistant, and have improved environmental stability.

ToupTek filters use a proprietary multi-layer coating system—including single-sided cutoff, front AR coating, and edge blackening—to eliminate halos, minimize stray light, and ensure long-term durability.

SHO 2-inch 4nm Filter Spectral Response Curves

Spectral Chart Reading Tips

The horizontal axis represents the wavelength of light (in nm), and the vertical axis represents the light transmittance (in percentage %).
Blue line: SII (672.4nm) Red line: Hα (656nm) Green line: OIII (500.7nm)
The emission nebula signal bands are mainly concentrated around 672.4nm (SII), 656nm (Hα), 500.7nm (OIII) and other bands.
Light pollution peaks are commonly found near 540nm and 590nm (sodium lamp/mercury lamp bands).

The transmission regions of the astronomical filters in the spectrum avoid major interference bands to ensure effective signal passage, enhancing contrast and image purity.
