About

A light-pollution filter that blocks the emission lines of sodium and mercury street lighting and natural airglow while passing most of the visible spectrum, so stars are barely dimmed. It has no IR-blocking layer — the CLS CCD is the version that does. This is the version that threads onto a Schmidt-Cassegrain rear cell.
