light pollution and moon filter


Recommended Posts

Hello everyone

i have the esprit 120 and the zwo asi 071 pro (i have not bought it yet but in the future i believe that i will buy. now i have canon not modified...) and want to buy a light pollution and moon filter (i dont know if i live in red zone but i have quite a few light pollution). from my understanding light pollution filter are good for nebulae because the light emitted from galaxies and from the moon/street light are the same wavelength so for galaxies there is not light pollution and just for nebulae (a.k.a moon and light pollution filter?) i hope that i informative myself good. i want a light pollution and moon filer that will be good for DSO astrophotography! i want that my picture will be in true real colors, like if you were to fly near the galaxy/nebulae

so what kind of filter i need to buy? 

it looks like these are the best for my problem... anyone here used one of these filters?

Hi, if you want a general purpose filter try the neodymium from baader. I use this filter and it is good for what it does, otherwise  I use CLS ccd but there are many more options out there. IDAS if you have the funds. hope this helps

and how about the UHC?

in cloudy night they suggested me that the UHC will be doing the best job...

the neodymium block also the moon and also the light pollution? i think i have in the streets LED light... and preserve true and normal color and good color balanced? and the image stays good, you know...

thanks!!

Yep! the UHC can be a good filter depending on the conditions and subject, I have one but rarely use it now, and then only on a 8" newt as I sometimes get a halo round some stars. keep searching for info, a lot of help is out there. Ton
