The Astronomik SII-CCD filter is a narrow-band-filter for CCD photography.The filter lets the light of the ionized sulfur (SII) pass, and blocks nearly the whole remainder of the visual spectrum as well as IR, in which the CCD is sensitive.
The full width at half maximum (FWHM) of 12nm is optimal suitable for common CCD cameras and allows the use of very fast optics. The range of application extends from 1:2.8 to 1:15. Transmission losses and chromatic distortions, which arise with other filters, only occur with Astronomik filters when extremely bright aperture ratios of 1:2 and more come into play. It should be noted, that the filter has a transmission of up to 99%.
Another advantage of the 12nm filters is the good availability of guiding stars for cameras with a built-in-autoguider (SBIG). If you use a very strong filter like our 6nm filter you often won't find a usable guidestar.
The Astronomik SII CCD filter increases the contrast between objects, in this case between those with SII emission lines and the skyglow background. Also, our Astronomik SII-CCD filter completely suppresses the emission lines of artificial lighting (mercury (Hg) and sodium (Na)) and skyglow.
Main use
The Astronomik SII CCD increases the contrast between objects, in this case between the SII emission line and the skyglow background. Our Astronomik SII CCD completely suppresses the emission lines of artificial lighting (mercury (Hg) and sodium (Na)) and skyglow. Due to the high optical quality of the Astronomik H-alpha-CCD substrate you will see the same needle-sharp stars as you would from your regular telescope.
Other uses
- Using the new H-alpha-CCD and the new SII-CCD filters you can obtain three-color images of emission line objects (gas nebulae) from locations with very strong light pollution. To do so, you would take an image in three different wavelengths, select each one as a color-channel in Photoshop and paste them together as one single color image.
- If you plan to create color images from emission line data, our CLS-CCD filter is a great choice for the Luminance channel.
Suitability
- Visual observation (dark skies): Unsuitable
- Visual observation (urban skies): Unsuitable
- Film photography: It depends, but very long exposure times
- CCD photography: Very good, huge contrast enhancement at S II-emission nebulas
- DSLR photography (original): Unsuitable

The angled view significantly increases the comfort of long-term viewing, particularly when your subject is located in the sky, in a tree, or on a hill. The high limiting resolution of the 115-mm objective module allows you to make out the tiniest details. The largest lens aperture on the market for wildlife observation, excellent optical quality, and outstanding color vision make it an unbeatable spotting scope for use at dawn and dusk.
Clarity right up to the edge - SWAROVISION Field Flattener
This type of image definition has never been achieved before in any other spotting scope, thanks to the field flattener lenses creating a virtually flat image. Even the finest structures are reproduced with razor-sharp clarity right up to the edge with no need for constant refocusing.
The result: every detail is instantly captured, producing a perfect image without any distortions.
Maximum contrast - Including HD optics
A highly innovative optics design combined with fluoride- containing HD lenses minimise interfering colour fringing. This enables maximum
colour fidelity and leads to a significant improvement in resolution and contrast.
The result: an even more lifelike, contrast-rich image.
A complete view - Large field of view and high zoom range
Nothing escapes you. Thanks to their wide field of view, the ATX/STX spotting scopes provide you with a broader, more exciting platform for your viewing experience.
In spite of their high zoom range, the new generation of spotting scopes offers a large field of view. This allows you to achieve optimum magnification and detail recognition and also makes it extremely easy for you to search for and find objects, especially if they are in motion.
Eye relief plus - Large field of view even for spectacle wearers
SWAROVISION features a long eye relief and the removable twist-in eyecup is individually adjustable.
The result: even spectacle wearers can enjoy a large field of view, not to mention the inimitable edge sharpness. An additional eyecup has been specially developed for spectacle wearers to further increase viewing comfort.
Maximum colour fidelity - Optimised coatings
The enhanced lens and prism coatings (SWARODUR & SWAROTOP) give noticeably better colour reproduction combined with even greater transmission. SWAROCLEAN coatings on the outer lens surfaces create a non-stick effect, making it easier to clean.
The result: even more impressive observing experiences, even in low light.
Ingenious System
The new modular design offers previously unimagined flexibility and you are free to choose the perfect solution as the situation dictates. In collaboration with experts we have developed digiscoping adapters that open up a new realm of ways in which to observe and share the most beautiful moments.
Perfectly designed down to the smallest detail, you will be equipped for any situation.
Just one hand
When every second counts. Imagine a plover flitting over the shore one minute and taking off into the sky the next. The ATX/STX spotting scopes ensure that you are prepared for moments like this. This is because the new position of the zoom ring, which is now directly behind the focusing ring, makes it easier to handle. It means that you can zoom and focus with one hand, while steering the spotting scopes direction with the other.
This completely new ergonomic design offers a crucial benefit for digiscopers in particular. They can now use the camera quickly, easily and accurately with one hand, while the other concentrates on zoom and focus.
Easy to transport
Not a gram too heavy for top optical performance. Size and weight is the name of the game for all those who like to travel or spend long days in the field. The ATX/STX series means that bulky spotting scopes that are difficult to pack and heavy to carry are a thing of the past.
The modular design enables you to store the objective and eyepiece modules separately and the smaller dimensions also mean that you can easily and safely store individual modules in your luggage.

In spite of their high zoom range, the new generation of spotting scopes offers a large field of view. This allows you to achieve optimum magnification and detail recognition and also makes it extremely easy for you to search for and find objects, especially if they are in motion.
Eye relief plus - Large field of view even for spectacle wearers
SWAROVISION features a long eye relief and the removable twist-in eyecup is individually adjustable.
The result: even spectacle wearers can enjoy a large field of view, not to mention the inimitable edge sharpness. An additional eyecup has been specially developed for spectacle wearers to further increase viewing comfort.
Maximum colour fidelity - Optimised coatings
The enhanced lens and prism coatings (SWARODUR & SWAROTOP) give noticeably better colour reproduction combined with even greater transmission. SWAROCLEAN coatings on the outer lens surfaces create a non-stick effect, making it easier to clean.
The result: even more impressive observing experiences, even in low light.
Ingenious System
The new modular design offers previously unimagined flexibility and you are free to choose the perfect solution as the situation dictates. In collaboration with experts we have developed digiscoping adapters that open up a new realm of ways in which to observe and share the most beautiful moments.
Perfectly designed down to the smallest detail, you will be equipped for any situation.
Just one hand
When every second counts. Imagine a plover flitting over the shore one minute and taking off into the sky the next. The ATX/STX spotting scopes ensure that you are prepared for moments like this. This is because the new position of the zoom ring, which is now directly behind the focusing ring, makes it easier to handle. It means that you can zoom and focus with one hand, while steering the spotting scopes direction with the other.
This completely new ergonomic design offers a crucial benefit for digiscopers in particular. They can now use the camera quickly, easily and accurately with one hand, while the other concentrates on zoom and focus.
Easy to transport
Not a gram too heavy for top optical performance. Size and weight is the name of the game for all those who like to travel or spend long days in the field. The ATX/STX series means that bulky spotting scopes that are difficult to pack and heavy to carry are a thing of the past.
The modular design enables you to store the objective and eyepiece modules separately and the smaller dimensions also mean that you can easily and safely store individual modules in your luggage.

Clarity right up to the edge - SWAROVISION Field Flattener
This type of image definition has never been achieved before in any other spotting scope, thanks to the field flattener lenses creating a virtually flat image. Even the finest structures are reproduced with razor-sharp clarity right up to the edge with no need for constant refocusing.
The result: every detail is instantly captured, producing a perfect image without any distortions.
Maximum contrast - Including HD optics
A highly innovative optics design combined with fluoride- containing HD lenses minimise interfering colour fringing. This enables maximum
colour fidelity and leads to a significant improvement in resolution and contrast.
The result: an even more lifelike, contrast-rich image.

In two decades, much has changed beyond recognition. Sensors are now back-illuminated CMOS with native 16-bit digitisation. QE is an amazing 90% and readout is a speedy 120 million pixels per second over USB3, a performance that once was unimaginable. What is maintained by QSI’s newest cameras is the integrated design, attention to detail, and bulletproof reliability.
In the design of the 700 series we have taken our best technology. Filterwheels are mechanically indexed to ensure the most precise location for perfect flat fields. The fused silica window is dew resistant and is coated on both sides with high transmission anti-reflective coating to minimise halos. The cameras use a highly efficient 2-stage Peltier cooler that draws less current and delivers more cooling than some other cameras.
The QSI 760 is our flagship product. The full frame IMX455 is widely regarded as the premium sensor for astronomers. The integrated 2”/50mm filter wheel minimises back focus, essential for the widest compatibility with focal reducers. Cable clutter is reduced thanks to the integrated filter wheel, 2 USB2 in sockets and power out. Power sockets have threaded connections for maximum reliability.
