Night scenes and astrophotography often suffer from unwanted light pollution. Mercury vapor, sodium lamps and some low CRI LED streetlights emit wavelengths that create a glow in the sky. That glow can prevent your camera from capturing stars and true night colors. The NiSi Natural Night Filter blocks the most common wavelengths of light pollution so you get cleaner, more accurate colors in your night images.
This 77mm variant of the NiSi Natural Night Filter is made specifically to improve images taken at night. Photographers and filmmakers can use it to reduce the impact of nearby streetlights and other artificial light sources on night scenes. By limiting those problematic wavelengths, the filter helps the camera reproduce the sky more faithfully.
Like other NiSi filters, the Natural Night is manufactured from precision annealed optical glass. Its surface is finely ground and polished to preserve image sharpness. This processing supports the resolving power required by today’s ultra high megapixel cameras and helps maintain fine detail in night imagery.
The filter features NiSi’s NANO Coating technology. This multi-layer coating reduces surface reflections, which in turn helps control ghosting and flare during night shoots. The coating also includes a protective layer that makes it easier to wipe off water, dust and oil without worrying about scratching the glass. Importantly, the NANO Coating achieves these benefits without introducing a color shift or loss in sharpness.

Question: Will this filter improve my night and astrophotography images?
Answer: Yes. The NiSi Natural Night Filter blocks the most common wavelengths from light pollution, which helps the camera capture cleaner sky tones and more accurate night colors when shooting night scenes or astrophotography.
Question: Does the filter affect image sharpness or color balance?
Answer: The filter is made from precision annealed optical glass with a finely ground and polished surface to preserve sharpness. NiSi’s NANO Coating reduces reflections while achieving this without a color shift or loss in sharpness.
Question: How does the NANO Coating help in practical use?
Answer: The multi-layer NANO Coating lowers surface reflections to reduce ghosting and flare. It also provides a protective layer that makes it easier to remove water, dust and oil from the filter surface without worrying about scratching the glass.
Question: Which filter sizes exist and which one is this listing for?
Answer: The NiSi Natural Night Filter is available in circular sizes from 40,5 up to 95mm. This specific product listing is for the 77mm size.
Question: Is the coating durable against environmental factors?
Answer: The filter has double sided, multi-layer coatings that are described as waterproof and oil resistant, which helps protect the glass and makes cleaning easier in the field.
