This is a terrific filter, my only wish is that it was magnetic. It certainly helps with the night photography, which is one of my favorite times to take photographs.

I thought I was getting some nice night shots before I tried a natural night filter!
This was shot from a cruise ship at sea, so I’ve got a glow of light around me, from the decks just above, that I’m shooting through/past to the moon, the result is I usually get a “lit up” sky that has an unnatural feel, and the moon may seem more natural in a white or cream, but it feels wrong or out of place against its background.
The natural night filter brought the two together so the moon and its background/the sky both feel more natural.
In an ideal world I’d find a darker location on deck, but, for now, I’m delighted with the results.

I really like this lens, I ordered a 77mm, fits good, my problem is it came unsealed, & very handled, im very disappointed in the case. For the price of the lens to arrived in a generic type, fits all case, is a not good. I can come up with a different case for it, it still bugs me. I'm debating on a exchange, the lens seems ok.!!!! Just, I ordered a new lens, not a OPEN BOX... I like sealed case's, Not Open beat up ones that come in a hand sealed
green clear generic bag so nothing falls out... The only thing missing is a big orange sticker saying USED...
Other then that it's a very nice clear lens, I just have some thinking to do... I worry that it may become defective after a bit, you just never know.
I have other very nice lens's from these guys, they didn't come this way...!!!!
I hope this isn't the New thing with they're lens's...
Very bummed... ;(
Shipping was fast.
Thank you...
God Bless...

Was delivered same day, and works as advertised. I was able to get these shots from my backyard in the light polluted skies of Houston. Bortle 8/9.

This filter is doing its job perfectly. It catchs night light pollution so I could take clear night sky. I've tried it at Josua tree national park to capture Neowise comet, and it worked perfectly.

It helps a lot in reducing light pollution. Here is a photo of the newesi comet from the city of Pasadena

Made my night photography a lot cleaner.
Took some long exposures with and without and noticed there was a lot less light pollution and noise with this filter on

Shooting in the city always undermines the results because of light pollution. But even in Bolter meter 4 light bollution I was able to use this filter get the desired effects I wanted in my photos. As a novice astrophotography I recommend.

I was setting up my camera to test the filter on my Rokinon 12mm f2 NCS lens by taking some star trail photos, when I noticed a noctilucent cloud (NLC) to the northwest, about 2 hrs after sunset. The cloud image is edited to show the subtle details in the cloud. I live in Vancouver, Washington, which is a few miles north of Portland, Oregon, so I'm surrounded by city lights. The filter did a fantastic job filtering out the stray light in the sky for both images.

Construction is very good with rubberized edge ridges for easy installation and removal, especially important for a filter that will only be used for night sky photography. Light transmission is good with no apparent chromatic aberration from edge to edge. The filter doesn't easily attract dust and cleans well with a quality microfiber cloth. While I've only taken a few night test shots, the filter appears to be very effective, especially for sodium vapor light pollution. One more item of note - the filter case is the best I've ever received with a filter of any price!
