CLS means City Light Suppression, a broadband astronomical filter. It selectively blocks harmful wavelengths, particularly artificial mercury and sodium light and natural skyglow, while transmitting nebular light. High transmission occurs near OIII (496 nm and 500 nm), Hβ (486 nm), NII (654 nm and 658 nm), Ha (656 nm), and SII (672 nm). Broad bandwidth and high throughput make it more suitable for less polluted sites. Frame and packaging: M48*0.75 thread; aerospace aluminum; one-piece CNC; fine sandblasting, anodizing, and internal light suppression; permanent laser engraving; PP box with imported high-pressure white EVA; 340 g silver-card carton with dense foam; sizes 1.25 and 2 inches; ROHS pass. Spectral notes: transmission >95% near OIII (496 nm and 500 nm), Hβ (486 nm), NII (654 nm and 658 nm), Ha (656 nm), and SII (672 nm). Blocking stated as 0.1% suppresses urban high-pressure Na at 589 nm and Hg at 578 nm.

Applications

Suitable for DSLR and color CCD use. This urban light-pollution filter suppresses unwanted city light to improve target contrast. Suitable for locations with relatively mild light pollution. It selectively blocks urban light pollution while transmitting nebular emission lines, increasing contrast rather than brightness.

Key Features

Precision double-sided polishing ensures parallelism better than 30 arcseconds and flatness 1/4λ, avoiding halos. Double-sided coating, without bonding two plates, improves transmission and blocking. Electron-beam gun evaporation and ion-assisted deposition (IAD) increase film density and minimize temperature-related wavelength drift. High-uniformity planetary fixtures improve wavelength uniformity.
