The best filter for light pollution. This thing really cuts down on the light pollution, and maintains the beautiful colors of the deep space objects. I use this with a ZWO camera in a bortle 8 light pollution zone and the difference is amazing.

As a city dweller, I often endure the light pollution of my environment. This filter helps improve viewing both for planetary and lunar targets. Definitely an upgrade for my hobby!

A great filter to use for planetary imaging in lit-up cities and under near full moon light. I can see at least a 30-50% improvement in contrast when I am viewing Jupiter. Drawbacks: None at this moment. Clear skys !

I originally got this as a light pollution filter but it's amazing on the moon

This filter has helped immensely with reducing light pollution in an urban setting. I am able to produce better quality images, even though I am taking short exposures via untracked astrophotography (Orion XT8 and iPhone XR with mount). The background is noticeably darker when utilizing the filter for visual/imaging purposes.

This filter performed beautifully. Light pollution is a problem almost everywhere but this filter came through and performed.

Works great, I was told that this is the swiss army knife of filters to own in your collection. I can see why.

I've tried a lot of filters living in a light polluted area. Some help, some don't. Baader Planetarium makes good filters and the 1.25" Moon and Skyglow Filter is no exception. For lunar and planetary observing the filter takes away the surrounding light scatter and gives a nice clean view with better contrast and colors. Though deep sky objects are very difficult from my location, the ones I can see and observe are presented against a darker background sky. This filter helps with many kinds of objects. Of course, how much depends on the sky condition you have to begin with. But it is a good all around filter for a variety of objects.

nice dark sky, objects such as planets and stellar objects have more "pop". have not yet had a chance to try it on deep sky objects.

You can elevate your astrophotography experience with the Baader Planetarium 1.25" Moon and Skyglow Filter. This innovative filter employs a unique approach to enhancing planetary contrast and reducing light pollution, making it a game-changer in the world of astronomy and astrophotography.
Drawing on extensive research conducted at Carl Zeiss, Baader Planetarium has crafted this high-quality filter using Neodymium glass. This specialized glass effectively filters out specific wavelengths emanating from streetlights and the moon's skyglow, ensuring you capture clearer, more detailed images of the night sky.
What sets this filter apart is its unique spectral characteristics. The Neodymium glass boosts color contrasts by isolating the Red, Green, and Blue regions, a process known as RGB enhancement. This results in images where natural colors are not only preserved but significantly enhanced, giving you vibrant and true-to-life photographs of celestial bodies.
The filter substrate is a custom melt of Neodymium doped glass, specifically designed for optimal transmission characteristics. This material is exclusive to Baader Planetarium, further underlining the filter's uniqueness and quality.
Moreover, the Baader Moon & Skyglow filter surfaces are optically polished, ensuring the best possible image sharpness and contrast. This user-friendly and durable filter, with its large 31.75mm size, allows more light to pass through, resulting in brighter, more vivid images.
In summary, the Baader Planetarium 1.25" Moon and Skyglow Filter is an effective tool for any astrophotographer looking to enhance their images' color, contrast, and clarity.
