More About the Astronomik 50 mm CLS Filter:

For imaging deep sky objects like star clusters, nebulae and galaxies in black & white as well as color with astronomical equipment of any size, the Astronomik CLS Filter is an excellent choice. By blocking the spectral lines of mercury and sodium-vapor lamps, and letting the largest part of the visible light and H-alpha emissions to pass, the CLS filter cuts off most surrounding light pollution, eliminating that annoying orange glare. Developed for use with filter to aperture ratios of 1:3 to 1:15. By staying within these parameters, aberrations and coma are eliminated.

All Astronomik filters are parfocal with all other Astronomik filters. The Astronomik 1.25" CLS Light Pollution Filter has a thickness of a mere 1 mm. It has a high resistance to scratches as well as the effects of aging and high humidity. This filter is diffraction limited and will not lower your telescope's optical performance. Astronomik filters arrive in a superior quality, durable plastic storage container.
