The darker side
Scientific explore
Springdale, Alaska
The Dark-Sky 77mm Slim filter is designed for astrophotographers who take images of auroras or deep skies. The filter blocks almost all yellow light pollution while letting reds and greens through, increasing contrast in auroras and nebulae. The slim design (4mm thick) prevents vignetting when used with wide-angle lenses.
