Astro Nightscape Filter - Light Pollution Reduction for Astrophotography & Night Sky Photography

Product Description

Are you just starting out in Astrophotography in an area with moderate to light urban light pollution? (Bortle Scale 3-6) STC's Astro Nightscape filter is a good place to begin.

Urban light pollution force astrophotographers to drive hours or trek up a mountain to get a clear view of the night sky. Complex post-production techniques and expensive equipment are barriers to astrophotography.

As a result, low-income students and young adults, women, people of color, persons living outside the United States, and the working class don't get an opportunity to be inspired by physics or astrophotography.

As a BIPOC-owned business, we asked ourselves how can we help correct the underrepresentation in astrophotography and physics? The Astro Nightscape filter is our first attempt to build an introductory level light pollution filter.
