SVBONY Telescope Filter, 1.25" CLS Broadband Filter Suitable for Deep Sky Visual Astronomical Photography, Reduce City Light Pollution

Helped with light in my backyard!

Good filter for blocking excess light pollution

This wad purchased in a bundle and while I haven't had much time to really give a in depth evaluation it seems to be a good build quality and does seem to boost contrast

Unfortunately I have not been able to use it due to the weather where I live but it seems to be very good quality! Better than the filters that came with the Celtic Bird set, excited to use this filter!

No point of comparison! But it fits and arrived unbroken

I live in the suburbs of a big city at the edge of some farming areas under 5-6 bortle skies. I decided to purchase a filter to cut some of the light pollution in the sky so bought SVBONY CLS filter for my Seestar S50 telescope. I used the filter to photograph star clusters, galaxies, and nebulae. It worked ok for star clusters and galaxies, but for nebulae, it simply could not cut enough pollution to make them pop hence I could not notice any benefit to using them, I eventually came to realize that for nebulae, one would need a dual band filter!!!

If you took off the ir blocking filter on you dslr you can use this and it should help bring it back for regular photography. Also great for night landscape photography where there are city light.And for astrophotography it is great too but...Make sure you take your pictures without this first so you can get a star profile to add to your nebulous or galaxies because this tends to put halos in the bigger stars.Other then that this is perfect for the polition of light taking over our great night sky's.

Let face it we are not NASA. Don’t need to spend every dime on the top of the line things unless u want to for a status symbol . This will serve you well under moderate light pollution I live in a bottle 6 skies and it gets rid of almost all of it. If you haven’t tried svbony before give them a chance. For being a “budget” brand they are really cranking out some high quality things over there. Keep it up
