cygnus veil with UHC


Recommended Posts

Hi everyone

The UHC cuts out a lot of light but it brings the blue/green out far better than any unfiltered shot we've taken. I'm sure it helps with light pollution too; these were taken over the last two nights, accompanied by a big gibbous moon.

I think the recommendation is to do the filtered frames then a few un-filtered to restore star colours. 

DSLR usres, do post your experiences if you've had a go. Thanks for looking.

Awesome pictures!

The only filter I own is a UHC filter, so will try it myself on the next clear night. How much of this is effected by having a unmodified DSLR, is it just the reds that will be faded?

Cheers 😃

Hi and thanks for your post.

Yes, I think you'll lose some of the red but get the full effect in the green and blue. The UHC does a great job of emphasising the latter.

Good luck. You should be fine.
