Astronomik CLS filters are suitable under light-polluted skies for DSLR Cameras which have not been modified for astronomical use. For modified DSLRs, use Astronomik CLS-CCD filters. The Astronomik CLS is a budget filter for visual observation, black & white photography and CCD photographs of nebulae, galaxies and star clusters with astronomical instruments of any size. The Astronomik CLS blocks the light of the spectral lines of mercury and sodium-vapor lamps and lets the largest part of the visible light and H-alpha emissions pass. All the important emission lines, as well as the spectral region that the very well dark adapted eye can see, can pass through the filter. If you wonder what to expect from the CLS, you might want to watch this video from Kamil Pekala Main Uses The filters are optimized for use with aperture ratios from 1:3 to 1:15. Transmission losses and chromatic distortions, which are problems with other filters, only appear with Astronomik filters when extremely bright aperture ratios of 1:2 and more are used. The CLS filter is suitable for use with telescopes of all aperture sizes.

Astronomik filters are delivered in a high-quality, long lasting, filter box Since 2008 we do ship filters with a completely new design. Any kind of halo or strange reflection is a matter of past Sizes Available From Astronomik - Please ask us if we don't have a price listed for the one you would like 1.25" (M28.5)2" (M48)T-thread cell (M42x0.75)SC-cell (2" / 24TPI)Ø31mmØ36mmØ50mmEOS APS-C Clip-FilterEOS M Clip-FilterEOS XL Clip-FilterSony alpha Clip-FilterNikon XL Clip-FilterPentax K Clip-Filter
