The darker side
Explore Scientific
Springdale, AK
The Dark-Sky Filter 77mm Slim is for astrophotographers taking images of aurorae or the deep sky. The filter blocks almost all yellow light pollution while passing reds and greens, increasing contrast in aurorae and nebulae. The slim design (4 mm thick) prevents vignetting when used with wide-angle lenses.
