Optolong Clear Sky Clip Filter for Nikon-Z Cameras

The Optolong Clear Sky Nikon Z Clip-In Filter is designed to provide a very gentle filtering profile that blocks sodium and mercury lamp wavelengths (commonly emitted by street lamps). This filter shines the brightest in Milky Way photography setups and under skies that are 4 or lower on the Bortle light pollution scale.

It can also shoot city night scenes. 

Please Note: Light pollution filter do not eliminate the effects of light pollution or increase the object’s brightness. In many cases, they increase the contrast between nebula and night sky, not brightening the nebula.
