Chroma LowGlow light pollution filter - 2″ mounted

Chroma LoGlow filter

Visit Chroma LoGlow filter is a broadband filter designed to effectively reduce light pollution while preserving a natural color balance in the visible spectrum. It is particularly suited to astronomical imaging in urban or suburban environments.

Key features

• Reducing light pollution :
  • Blocks the common spectral lines of artificial lighting sources such as mercury vapor, sodium and metal halide lamps.
  • Reduces the impact of urban lighting while letting in natural light from stars and celestial objects.
• Color balance :
  • Maintains balanced color in the visible spectrum, making it ideal for color (RGB) or luminance imaging.
• Available formats :
  • 1.25" mounted
  • 2" mounted
  • 36 mm unmounted
  • Compatible with a wide range of filter wheels and optical configurations.
• Sustainable construction :
  • Made from high-quality materials, including a sturdy aluminum frame and resistant multi-layer coatings.

Applications

• Urban/suburban astronomical imaging :
  • Ideal for capturing deep-sky images (nebulae, galaxies, star clusters) under light-polluted skies.
• Astrophotography in color :
  • Perfectly suited to RGB or LRGB shooting thanks to its natural color balance.
• Visual observation :
  • Can also be used to enhance contrast for visual observations under polluted skies.

Technical advantages

• Selective blocking :
  • Filters out the specific wavelengths associated with artificial sources without affecting the natural colors of celestial objects.
• Universal compatibility :
  • Works with most modern telescopes and astronomical cameras.
• Versatility :
  • Suitable for both monochrome and color imaging.

Conclusion

Visit Chroma LoGlow filter is an excellent choice for astrophotographers and observers wishing to minimize the impact of light pollution without compromising color quality. Its robust design and optical performance make it an essential tool for capturing the deep sky in bright environments.
