The Astronomik CLS Filter blocks the light of the spectral lines of mercury and sodium-vapor lamps and lets the largest part of the visible light and H-alpha emissions pass. All the important emission lines, as well as the spectral region that the very well dark adapted eye can see, can pass through the filter.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eMain use\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe filters are optimized for use with aperture ratios from 1:3 to 1:15. Transmission losses and chromatic distortions, which are problems with other filters, only appear with Astronomik filters when extremely bright aperture ratios of 1:2 and more are used. The CLS filter is suitable for use with telescopes of all aperture sizes.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eSuitability\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eVisual observation (dark skies): Good, to reduce light pollution by mercury-vapour lamps (streetlight)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eVisual observation (urban skies): Good, an UHC-E or UHC filter is more suitable\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eFilm photography: Very good, colour balance is near perfect\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eCCD photography: Good, when used with an additional IR-block-filter\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eDSLR photography (original): Good, colour balance shifted but contrast enhanced\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eDSLR photography (astro modified): Very good, colour balance is near perfect\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eDSLR photography (MC modified): Good, when used with an additional IR-block-filter\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eWebcam \/ Video (Planets): Unsuitable\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eWebcam \/ Video (Deep Sky): Very good, if light pollution is a big problem\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe table gives you a short Overview about the suitability of our filters for various applications: \u003cstrong\u003eLegend\u003c\/strong\u003e ++ The filter is excellent for this application, the dramatic better image! + The filter is good for this application, the much better image! o The filter is suitable for this application, the slightly better image! - The filter is usable for this application. -- The filter is not suitable for this application. \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"basic ui-accordion selected\" id=\"list1b\"\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eHow to Read the Chart\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eThe \u003cb\u003ehorizontal axis\u003c\/b\u003e is the \u003cb\u003eWavelength in Nanometers\u003c\/b\u003e (nm). 400nm is deep blue, at 520nm the human eye senses green and at 600nm red.
