Dear All

I would like some advice on Light Pollution Filter options.

Im running a C8 SCT just up from the industrial area of Osborne Park.
( And no Im not moving)

What sort of filters can I use to claw back some of my lost contrast?

G'day Dunc,

I use two light pollution filters that I think are very good. IDAS LPS filter, and also a DGM optics NPB or Narrow Passband Filter. Both these filters yield good results, but the DGM optics filter is not suited to astrophotography.

I also have a celestron light pollution filter which I also think is okay, but not as good as the others.
