Product description

The Omegon Light Pollution Filter is a type of broadband filter. Its effectiveness makes it universally applicable. The broad passband allows star clusters, galaxies, nebulae and comets to be better observed. However, it also filters out annoying artificial light such as street lighting.

Both the Omegon UHC and Omegon OIII filters are limited in their application to a few objects. The Omegon Light Pollution Filter is therefore more useful for generally increasing the contrast of faint objects, without filtering out the spectrum of possible observing targets.

The Omegon Light Pollution Filter is not only useful at light-polluted sites; the contrast is also increased at dark sky sites.

The advantages in a nutshell:

a first filter for those on a tight budget
very suitable for smaller telescopes
can also be used for astrophotography
stars are not as strongly coloured as with a narrowband filter

Customer reviews

Very good filter

Review by J. A. on 02.02.2024 11:28:34

I live under Bortle class 8-9 skies. Unfortunately it is not always possible to go under darker skies. This filter works really well, at least for mag. 4 to 6 targets under heavy light pollution, in my experience. Of course it is not miracle maker, but it improves the raw data quality a lot! With this filter I can shoot longer sub exposures without data becoming orange blur.

Unlike the previous commenter, I find this very useful and helpful for photography. You just need a suitable holder/adapter for this filter.

Not amazing

This adds a little bit of contrast to your visual observations, but doesn't really do a lot, also, this can only be used with eyepieces, so don't expect to use this for photography.
