Chroma LoGlow Light Pollution Filter

While a standard luminance filter captures the entire visible spectrum, the LoGlow is a selective broad-band filter. It specifically targets and blocks the emission lines associated with common urban light pollution—like mercury and sodium vapor—while letting the rest of the light pass through to your sensor.

No, this is designed specifically for broadband imaging, such as capturing galaxies, star clusters, and reflection nebulae. If you are shooting narrowband targets like emission nebulae, you would be better served by dedicated H-alpha, OIII, or SII filters.

Yes, the 1.1mm slim profile is specifically designed to fit into standard filter wheels without causing mechanical interference or vignetting issues.

It significantly improves your signal-to-noise ratio in suburban environments, making deep-sky imaging much more viable from home. However, it cannot replicate the pristine conditions of a true dark-sky site, so you will still see better results when you can get away from city lights.

The LoGlow is compatible with most monochrome and color astrophotography cameras. Because it is a 36mm unmounted filter, ensure your filter wheel or drawer supports this specific diameter before purchasing.
