Astronomik CLS Light Pollution Filter - 31mm Round Mounted

DESCRIPTION

Astronomik CLS Light Pollution Filter - 31mm Round Mounted

The 31 mm CLS Light Pollution Filter - Mounted in Low Profile Non-Threaded Cell by Astronomik:

The Astronomik CLS is an excellent filter for black & white and color imaging of nebulae, galaxies and star clusters with astronomical instruments of any size. By blocking the spectral lines of mercury and sodium-vapor lamps, and letting the largest part of the visible light and H-alpha emissions pass, the CLS filter will effectively block out most surrounding light pollution, eliminating that annoying orange glare. 

Now Mounted in Low Profile Non-Threaded Cell: Sometimes unmounted CCD filters can be hard to handle. The smaller diameters, such as this 31 mm CLS filter, can be especially difficult to pick up and insert or remove from the filter wheel, and that can lead to possible damage as well as unwanted reflections from incorrectly installed filters. Astronomik has solved this problem by mounting their 31 mm and 36 mm filters in a low profile (3 mm) non-threaded cell. O-rings, washers, or spacers are no longer required to hold the filter in place, and because the cell is only 3 mm thick, it works well in all appropriately sized filter wheels. Mounted 31 mm and 36 mm Astronomik filters will also play nice with unmounted versions in the same carousel.
