Exellent filter for the purpose of night sky, wide field Astrophotography. Very adept at cancelling light pollution and has a high quality feel. I can not comment on the coatings, but I had no problems with light refraction or ghosting, and the filter cleans easily. I would say an upgrade from filters like the ICE filters, and the added expense to go to those brands does not justify the cost increase.

This filter is doing its job perfectly. It catchs night light pollution so I could take clear night sky. I've tried it at Josua tree national park to capture Neowise comet, and it worked perfectly.

I thought I was getting some nice night shots before I tried a natural night filter!
This was shot from a cruise ship at sea, so I’ve got a glow of light around me, from the decks just above, that I’m shooting through/past to the moon, the result is I usually get a “lit up” sky that has an unnatural feel, and the moon may seem more natural in a white or cream, but it feels wrong or out of place against its background.
The natural night filter brought the two together so the moon and its background/the sky both feel more natural.
In an ideal world I’d find a darker location on deck, but, for now, I’m delighted with the results.

Made my night photography a lot cleaner.
Took some long exposures with and without and noticed there was a lot less light pollution and noise with this filter on

I love using this filter at night! I live in the Tampa, Fl area so I have a huge amount of light interference at night. The first time a used it there was a huge difference. Glad I bought it!

Shooting in the city always undermines the results because of light pollution. But even in Bolter meter 4 light bollution I was able to use this filter get the desired effects I wanted in my photos. As a novice astrophotography I recommend.

Filter appears to be broadband and helps reduce glare with minimal effect on colors. Would be helpful if a spectral chart was posted to be certain of what is being ordered.

Construction is very good with rubberized edge ridges for easy installation and removal, especially important for a filter that will only be used for night sky photography. Light transmission is good with no apparent chromatic aberration from edge to edge. The filter doesn't easily attract dust and cleans well with a quality microfiber cloth. While I've only taken a few night test shots, the filter appears to be very effective, especially for sodium vapor light pollution. One more item of note - the filter case is the best I've ever received with a filter of any price!
