Each Night Sky filter delivers incredible starlight definition and true color neutrality.
The Night Sky filter is also weathersealed in our rugged X4 traction frame and features an incredibly durable MRC16 and nanotec® coatings for easy and fast cleaning.
No Night Sky Filter VS. Night Sky Filter
Artificial light pollution ranges between 570 to 610 nanometers on the visible light spectrum.
Artificial light pollution can reduce starlight definition by up to 50%.
The orange color cast decreases contrast between the stars and the space behind them, making the otherwise black backdrop of space look orangish.
Eliminating light pollution is essential to capturing beautiful Night Sky images, however finding a location to shoot without light pollution can be incredibly difficult if not impossible depending on where you’re shooting.
Eliminating light pollution in post-processing is a destructive type of editing, whereas with a Night Sky filter light pollution is eliminated non-destructively.
Built for harsh environments, our industry first traction frame completes the weathersealing on your lens to protect against dust, moisture and other outdoor elements.
The rugged traction frame also allows a strong grip for removal and attachment.
Backed by our 25 Year Ironclad Guarantee, each Night Sky filter is designed to last decades of continual use in the field.
Our ultra-slim circular filter frames are designed to eliminate vignetting on wide-angle full-frame setups.
Sky darkness and light pollution are going to be the two most essential factors which determine how bright your starlight will be.
A Night Sky filter works wonders by making the backdrop of space appear more black, making each individual star stand out more, significantly increasing starlight definition.
In this FREE downloadable guide you’ll discover the best exposure settings, which equipment you need and more to effectively capture breathtaking night sky images.
Sky darkness and light pollution are going to be the two most essential factors which determine how bright your starlight will be.
If strong light pollution exists starlight brightness can appear 50% less bright. When the moon is at it’s brightest phase starlight can appear up to 50% less bright as well.

In Chapter 3 you’ll discover the essential equipment necessary for getting the best results. I’ll go over the essential setup, as well as considerations for the optimal setup. I’ll also discuss camera bodies, lenses, and if the Pro’s outweigh the Con’s for Super Wide Angle lenses.
CHAPTER 4: RECOMMENDATIONS FROM PROFESSIONAL NIGHT SKY PHOTOGRAPHERS
In Chapter 4 you’ll hear directly from professional Night Sky photographers who work day in and day out shooting. They share with you their perspective on Night Sky and what equipment they use. At the end of this guide you’ll be able to easily capture well exposed Night Sky images, and create wonderful other-dimensional images yourself.
WEATHER-SEALED
Our X4 Night Sky filters are designed to hold up for years of regular use in the field. Each filter completes the weather-sealing of the lens and can withstand extreme wind, salt water, dust and other abrasive elements and conditions.
NANO-COATING
Each filter incorporates our state-of-the-art nanotec® Nano Coating technology which repels dirt, water and other debris by beading up on the surface rather than absorbing and smearing.
