Ellie ★★★★★ Oct 21, 2026

I tested this on a streetlight-heavy night and it cut the nasty yellow glow way more than my old filter. The extended NIR blocking up to 1200nm is a nice bonus.

Sophia L. ★★★★★ Oct 20, 2026

The UV blocking on this updated version really cuts down the blue haze from streetlights in my suburban backyard shots. Wasn't expecting such a noticeable difference compared to my old filter.

Switched from an older model and the difference in blocking UV and NIR up to 1200nm is immediately noticeable in my suburban backyard. Mercury streetlights barely leave a trace in my images now, and the stars pop much cleaner.
