Questions & Answers

Tony B : Does the filter affect the color data of a one shot color ccd camera ?Gloria E : No, sir, it does not affect the color. I am using a ZWO ASI183MC Pro with very good results.
Tony B : DOES THE CELESTRON UHC FILTER WORK FOR ASTROPHOTOGRAPHY ?CARLOS ALEJANDR A : I´m very satisfied with my first results using this fitler. I was using a Orion Skyglow 1.25. (very nice too)JIM H : yes it will work for astro photography.keep in mind that the length of your exposures may need to increase because you will be reducing some of the light in the spectrum that you want to capture in the photograph.JIM M : Yes, this filter works especially well for photography. It does require longer exposures and sometimes a higher ISO setting as it's blocking a lot of light. It has one undocumented benefit. It removes most of the chromatic distortion found in achromatic scopes. This, in effect, reduces, eliminates the purple halos around bright objects like the Moon and bright stars.
Shopper : Why Did You Choose This?Gloria E : Celestron is a good brand and this filter comes recommended by others that I have spoken to who have used it.DONNY E : Price and quality.

Celestron UHC Filter

I live in a very light polluted area and this filter darkens the background to bring out objects that could not be viewed without it.

Indispensible if viewing nebula's.

Our polluted and not so good sky turns black when viewed through this filter. Excellent for deep sky imaging as well.

Works well in suburban skies

The Celestron UHC filter works as advertised by blocking out the pinkish light from modern sodium vapor streetlights. However, it is not a substitute for truly dark country skies.

Celestron UHC Filter

Just imagine capturing the celestial wonders with enhanced contrast and color, free from the interference of artificial and natural light pollution. The 2" UHC / LPR Filter from the reputable brand, Celestron, is meticulously designed to selectively reduce the transmission of certain wavelengths of light, specifically those produced by artificial sources like mercury vapor, and both high and low-pressure sodium vapor lights. It also effectively blocks the unwanted natural light caused by neutral oxygen emission in our atmosphere, commonly known as sky glow.

This high-quality UHC (Ultra High Contrast) LPR (Light Pollution Reduction) filter offers improved contrast over typical broadband filters, making the sky background appear darker and the contrast of emission nebulae noticeably improved. The advanced technology coatings on this durable filter enable an outstanding transmission of over 97% across the entire bandpass, with total blockage of prominent light pollution lines.

Ideal for viewing nebula from light polluted skies or for boosting the contrast of nebula from dark sky sites, this versatile filter is designed to be compatible with a wide range of cameras and telescopes. It's not just a filter, it's a game-changer for your digital photography and stargazing experiences, offering the highest quality celestial views. Experience the difference with the 2" UHC / LPR Filter and capture the universe in all its glory.

Celestron 2 inch UHC / LPR Filter Features

  • The multi-layer dielectric coatings are plasma assisted and Ionbeam hardened using the latest technology for durability and resistance to scratching.
  • Improved transmission translates to maximum image brightness and contrast. Users of smaller, 4"-11" telescopes will especially appreciate the high efficiency, and larger scope users will love the rich star fields and detailed subtle nebular shadings that are left intact.
  • The high transmission, sharp cutoffs, and more moderate 60nm passband of the UHC/LPR filter retains a more natural view, yet significantly boosts overall contrast. Imagers will appreciate the broader bandpass and inclusion of an extremely efficient H-Alpha passband (656nm)
