🌌 Shoot Stunning Deep-Space Shots Even in Bortle 8 Light-Polluted Skies
The SVBONY SV240 1.25" Multi-Narrowband Filter is built for urban astronomers who refuse to let city glow ruin their imaging. This 1.25-inch filter targets key nebula wavelengths while crushing light pollution, making it your go-to tool for capturing vivid cosmic details from downtown or suburban backyards.

✨ Key Selling Points
Bortle 8 Light Pollution Blocking: Boasts >OD4 average cut-off depth (blocks 99.99% of unwanted light), letting you shoot clear images even in the brightest urban environments (Bortle 8 = city centers, bright suburbs).
Multi-Narrowband Precision: Covers 4 critical nebula emission lines (H-Alpha/ OIII/ H-Beta) with high transmittance:
T>97% @ 656.3nm (H-Alpha)
T>88.2% @ 500.7nm (OIII)
T>95% @ 486.1nm (H-Beta)
Balances ""filtering noise"" and ""retaining detail"" with optimized bandwidths (25nm/22nm/115nm).
1.25" Compatibility: 1.25-inch universal form factor, seamlessly adaptable to entry-level devices.
Wide Wavelength Coverage: 300-1100nm range (with >98.2% average IR transmittance @ 830-870nm) supports diverse deep-space targets.

🎯 Ideal Shooting Targets
Emission Nebulae: Orion, Lagoon, and Eagle Nebula (vibrant H-Alpha/OIII details)
Reflection Nebulae: Witch Head Nebula, Iris Nebula
Galaxies & Star Clusters: Andromeda Galaxy, Pleiades Star Cluster
Planetary Nebulae: Ring Nebula, Dumbbell Nebula

👤 Who It’s For
Urban Astronomers: Perfect for Bortle 8 environments (city centers, bright suburbs) where light pollution is severe.
1.25" Equipment Users: 1.25-inch universal form factor, seamlessly adaptable to entry-level devices.
Versatile Imagers: Covers emission/reflection nebulae, galaxies, and star clusters—no need to swap multiple filters.
Casual to Intermediate Photographers: Easy to use, with high transmittance that reduces exposure times and camera noise.

Ready to turn your light-polluted backyard into an urban observatory? The SV240 filter lets you capture stunning deep-space shots without traveling to dark-sky sites.
 
Review of SV240
 
 

Some questions about SV240

Q: What is the difference with SVBONY SV220 mainstream dual narrowband astrophotography filters?
A: Dual narrowband filters are mainly used for emission nebulae, planetary nebula, and supernova remnants astrophotography. SV240 can be used for both traditional emission nebulae and galaxies, reflection nebulae, and star clusters.

Q: Which equipment can be used with SV240?
A: Because SV240 has high transmittance in the near-infrared region, we recommend NIR-enhanced sensors, such as the IMX585 and IMX464.

Q: Do these filters produce halos? What kind of primary mirror are recommended?
A: Using the infrared astrophotography filter will often cause halos in near-infrared; We recommend using SV240 with a reflective or APO refractor.

Q: Does the SV240 filter provide an improvement in photoing broadband galaxy targets?
A: Yes, SV240 can be seen as the combination of SV220 and UHC filters, and has remarkable performance both in narrowband and broadband targets.
