Nighttime filter

I was wondering if anyone has used one of these filters to cut out light pollution and if they are actually beneficial?
Thanks.
Thanks.

Seems to be. Evidently it's new.

I use this. Works great.

That is nothing more than a sodium vapor filter as used in astronomy. Don't buy the hype that it's "new" or "revolutionary" - they've been around for DECADES.

I was wondering if this would be beneficial for Aurora Borealis photography. But then I realized two things: 1. Using a filter for Aurora photos produces concentric circles in the photo. 2. My Sigma Art f2.8, 17-24mm with it's huge bulbous end does not accommodate filters. I know I could send it to Sigma to have the lens hood replaced but then what about #1? Would anyone care to comment about this?

Our photography club had a speaker who discussed night sky telephotography (Meade telescopes and the like) a couple of months ago. He discussed these filters and had comparison photographs taken during one of his sessions to demonstrate that they are effective. They are not a substitute for going to a dark sky viewing site, but can help make usable photographs from a reasonably dark back yard. And yes...they have been around for quite a while.

Couldn't that be done in LR or PS?
The link that Goofynewfi provided said that it could easily be done in LR.

Sounds to me like the "new guy" being sent to supply to get 250 ft of shoreline or a skyhook.

Thanks for the replies, I thought it was something I could probably do in post but I've also seen where a lot of people seem to think they work pretty well. I normally use the NiSi 100mm filters and/or the ones from Breakthrough and they both hype them pretty well however, since they're really pretty pricey I thought I'd try and get some opinions from y'all.
Thanks again
Thanks again

I had a few newbies looking for 200 yards of flight line.
