The NiSi Natural Night filter targets unwanted wavelengths from common light-pollution sources so your camera can capture clearer night skies. It removes the glow caused by mercury vapor, sodium and low CRI LED streetlights that often pollute night scenes. As a result, you get cleaner and more accurate colors in your night and astrophotography images.
NiSi builds this filter from precision annealed optical glass. Its surface is finely ground and polished to maintain sharpness for today's ultra high-megapixel cameras. In other words, the glass and finish help preserve image detail and clarity.
The Natural Night Filter uses NiSi's NANO Coating technology. This multi-layer coating reduces surface reflections, which helps limit ghosting and flare in challenging lighting situations. Additionally, the coating includes a protective layer that makes it easy to wipe off water, dust and oil without worrying about scratching the glass.
Importantly, the NANO Coating process achieves these benefits without causing a color shift or any loss in sharpness. That means you can reduce unwanted light pollution effects while keeping accurate colors and high definition.
Use this filter when shooting night scenes or the night sky to reduce the color cast and glow from common streetlights. Because NiSi crafted the glass and coatings specifically for modern high-resolution cameras, the filter aims to preserve fine detail while minimizing reflections and contamination on the surface.
