About Celestron Light Pollution Rasa

Why settle for less when you can capture the cosmos in all its glory with the high-quality Light Pollution Imaging Filter for Rowe-Ackermann Schmidt Astrograph (RASA) 11" This innovative filter, custom-designed by Celestron and Astrodon, is your ultimate solution to light pollution challenges in astrophotography.

This advanced filter is specifically engineered to enhance your experience with the Celestron Rowe-Ackermann Schmidt Astrograph, even in light-polluted environments. With its generous 72mm diameter, it effortlessly accommodates the largest sensors of today's cameras, ensuring you never miss a detail.

The Light Pollution Imaging Filter for RASA is a testament to the collaborative genius of Celestron engineers and Astrodon, the world's leading imaging filter company. The outcome is a durable and effective light pollution suppression filter that optimizes your astroimaging experience.

This innovative filter replaces a placeholder glass in the optical path, ensuring RASA's precise optical path remains unaltered. It's not just about removing light pollution; this filter is designed to keep your images bright and vibrant.

In light-polluted areas, skyglow can degrade the quality of your astrophotography images. This filter selectively blocks light emitted from common streetlights and other ambient lighting, without compromising the total light throughput. Unlike most light pollution filters, the Light Pollution Imaging Filter for RASA preserves over 90 percent of the light captured by your telescope at many wavelengths, ensuring your images never appear too green or blue.

The Celestron LP Imaging Filter for RASA stands out with its neutral color balance. Its dielectric coatings further enhance light transmission, allowing you to bring out subtle color in galaxies and other faint deep sky objects. The filter also features anti-reflective coatings to prevent star halos and minimize internal reflections.

Every Celestron Light Pollution Imaging Filter undergoes individual testing for light transmission. You'll receive the actual transmission spectrum for your specific filter, prepared by Astrodon and matched to your filter's serial number. This ensures you have total confidence in your filter's performance and the quality of your astrophotography.

Celestron Light Pollution Rasa Features

  • Enhance your 8" Rowe-Ackermann Schmidt Astrograph (RASA) by blocking light pollution, improving image contrast, and darkening the sky background.
  • This filter selectively blocks wavelengths of light from sources of light pollution, such as streetlights, not broad regions of the spectrum.
  • Does not block wavelengths associated with emission nebulae, keeping your nebula images bright and detailed.
  • Fits into the 8" RASA's integrated filter mount, maintaining peak optical performance.
  • Optically flat surfaces free of defects, constructed of Schott glass with anti-reflection coatings.
