Light pollution filters and ccd imaging.

[Neo_uk]

Hi...

I'm looking for some guidance on how to put a light pollution in to my imaging train for when I'm shooting lrgb images ...

I have just got a zwo 1600mm Pro and I was wondering  if I could use the ccd window adaptor to mount a astronomik cls filter in before my filter wheel ?... if there's clearance that is ?.

The cls filter isn't the ccd version but from what I've read the only difference is the ir cut properties...but my baader filters in my wheel do have the ir coatings ...so in my reckoning this should be fine.

Was just wondering if anyone had done the same ?.

Many thanks 

Chris.

What about trying something like this adapter...would save some money?

Hi callisto...

That's the adaptor I have ..and was just wondering if mounting it in that before the filterwheel was ok ?...

Many thanks Chris.

I suggest not spending money on LP filters. I have tried them all. Just balance the curves in your processing software and it's dealt with free of charge.
