Skytech CLS Filter & Liveview?

[boulderbelly]

Hi Folks  Good Affternoon  😃

 

 I have just bought a skytech CLS filter for my Canon 2000D  and  i tried it on liveview through the  scope 72 ED with Field Flattener and its just coming back as a blue screen on my lcd screen  is this right? or  is my camera not set properly.  any help would be appreciative.  thanks

If your local light pollution is predominately LED lighting is it possibly transmitting the peak of the typical white LED spectrum at about 470nm which is at the blue end of the spectrum (and possibly within the Skytec CLS passbands)?  Do you see any stars?  What do you see if you point at a 'bright white-light object' (eg the moon or a daytime landscape object), is the colour tint blueish?

It does give a blue tint especially to background LP glow (not led lighting) but if you take a photo you should still see what you're imaging, even at short exposures.

Hi Folks  thanks for replying!  i havent tried it outside yet as the glorious raining western scottish region weather has not let up yet    but i'll try it tonight since the sky is clear today   cheers for the heads up folks 👍👍👍  very much appreciated!  I just seen the bluish tint on the LCD screen when I held it against the window light after putting the filter in,  I had to tweak the legs on the filter a bit to fit snugly  (thanks to a few folks on here with filter problems) but  but when i pointed the camera at the darker wall it seem to go dark on Liveview i could still see the variations on the wallpaper  so i can see through it  brilliant!  being a bit older and just getting back into astronomy way of things and the new fangled tech gear thats about  these days  its all very new but exciting to me.

That explains it! Hope you go on to get great results using your filter.

Cheers Mate! looking forward to it!   Its still cloudy up here (as usual) clear all day today blue sky and quite cold too for ayrshire, considering the back green is sheltered  from other buildings, should have taken the chance before the clouds started gathering again.. I'll get there eventually!..
