Product Introduction

Lights from sodium lamps and mercury lamps in urban areas affect the sky, making photos of city night skies appear overall reddish. This phenomenon is called light pollution. Using a filter called a "light pollution cut filter" can effectively cut these lights and allow you to photograph the night sky in its natural colors. We created the "Starry Night" filter to help everyone who wants to take beautiful starry sky and night scene photos.
The "Starry Night" filter has the property of cutting only specific wavelength ranges of light, suppressing color cast caused by sodium and mercury lamps. This allows even with auto white balance to capture landscapes with their original colors. Unlike traditional light pollution cut filters like "ASTRO LPR," it has no restriction on the focal length of the lens used, so it can be used seamlessly with ultra-wide-angle lenses. The frame is designed to be less vignetting with a thin construction. It also features knurled processing, making it less slippery and easier to attach and detach outdoors. Made with confidence and trust in Japan.

Product Features
Light pollution cut filter that suppresses color cast caused by city lights
Especially in urban night skies, the influence of city lights such as sodium and mercury lamps causes the sky to appear yellow or orange. Using the "Starry Night" filter reduces this color cast and enables natural color reproduction. Even when finishing images with photo editing software, pre-cutting light pollution with the "Starry Night" reduces processing steps and makes RAW development easier. This is truly a filter for starry sky and night scene photography.

Ideal for starry sky and night scene photography
Unlike traditional light pollution cut filters, the "Starry Night" has no restriction on the focal length of the lens used, and it does not cause color shift even with wide-angle lenses. Its thin frame design minimizes vignetting, making it especially suitable for star landscape photography. It also performs well in night scene shooting and time-lapse photography, where post-processing is difficult.

Also recommended for use with soft filters
By stacking the "Starry Night" with soft filters that blur stars and highlight constellations, you can create more impressive works. The "Pro Softon" series is especially suitable. When stacking filters, please note that the edges of the image may darken or vignetting may occur.
Try posting your starry sky photos on SNS with the hashtag "#StarryNightFilter".

Light pollution cut filter that suppresses color cast caused by city lights

Light pollution is a major problem when photographing the night sky. The influence of city lights such as sodium and mercury lamps causes the night sky to appear yellow or orange. Using the "Starry Night" filter reduces this color cast and enables natural color reproduction. Even when finishing images with photo editing software, pre-cutting light pollution with the "Starry Night" filter reduces processing steps and makes RAW development easier.

The "Starry Night" filter has no restriction on the focal length of the lens used, making it ideal for star landscape photography. It also performs well in night scene shooting and time-lapse photography, where post-processing is difficult.

Effects of the "Starry Night" filter

Improvement of starry sky color cast

The color cast caused by city lights affecting the starry sky was improved with the use of the "Starry Night" filter, making stars stand out more.

Effective for clouds and buildings too

Reflections of city lights on clouds and buildings caused a yellowish tint, but this was improved with the "Starry Night" filter.

Also recommended for use with "Pro Softon" soft filters

Stacking the "Pro Softon" soft filter, which blurs stars and makes constellations stand out, can produce more impressive images.
