Orion 1.25" SkyGlow Astrophotography Nebular Filter for DSLR and Color CCD

With the Orion SkyGlow Astrophotography Filter, you can take incredible deep-sky images under light-polluted skies with your CCD or DSLR camera. That’s because Orion custom designed the filter to selectively block the specific wavelengths of light associated with urban sky glow, letting the light emitted from deep-sky objects shine through. You’ll see a marked increase in image contrast for all types of deep sky objects, even faint galaxies, which typically are suppressed through visual light pollution filters.

By blocking up to 99% transmission of the offending wavelengths, the Orion SkyGlow Astrophotography Telescope Filter enables longer exposure times without background saturation. Because the white light spectrum remains largely intact, the color balance of the image is not affected, eliminating the need for corrective processing later.

Advantages of the Orion SkyGlow Deep Sky Nebular filter:

Specialized astrophotography filter designed for deep-sky imaging in light polluted skies with CCD or DSLR cameras

The SkyGlow Imaging filter suppresses up to 99% transmission of specific light wavelengths responsible for light pollution

Enhances contrast of all types of deep-sky objects: galaxies, nebulas, and star clusters

Filter with metal filter cell construction preserves neutral color balance, eliminating need for corrective color processing later

Enables longer astrophotographic exposure times without background saturation due to sky glow

The improvement in contrast achieved with the Orion SkyGlow Astrophotography Filter is remarkable.
