NiSi Square Star Soft 100x150mm – Softens brightest stars for astrophotography

Designed specifically for astrophotography, the NiSi Square Star Soft filter softens the brightest stars to help constellations stand out. Photographers use it to alter how point light sources appear in night sky images. In practice, the filter makes stars appear larger and enhances the visual separation between bright stars and surrounding sky.

Key benefits for night sky photography

• Softens the brightest stars while retaining night sky detail.
• Makes stars appear bigger to emphasize star fields and bright points.
• Helps constellations and stars sparkle more clearly in night sky images.
• Designed for astrophotography use cases where controlled diffusion of star highlights is desired.

Where and when to use the NiSi Square Star Soft

Use this filter when you want your brightest stars to have a softer, more prominent look. For example, apply it during night sky shoots to make constellations and star clusters draw more attention in the final image. Because it alters point light sources, you can also use it when you want a subtle sparkling effect across a night sky scene.

Available formats

The NiSi Square Star Soft is offered as square filters in two sizes. Choose the size that fits your existing square filter holder system or photographic workflow.

Practical notes

Because the filter is designed to modify star highlights, expect a visible change in how bright points render in your images. Therefore, test the filter in the field to evaluate the level of softening and sparkle you prefer. Also, ensure you use a compatible square filter holder to mount these sizes securely.
