IDAS LPS-D3 Filters

IDAS LPS-D3 Filters

Note: The LPS-D3 48mm is now replaced with the Sightron LPS-C1

IDAS LPS-D3 (formerly NGS1) Light Pollution Suppression Filters

IDAS LPS-D3 (formerly NGS1) light pollution suppression filters enhance the contrast of astronomical emission nebulae against a sky with both man-made and natural* sky glow sources, yet preserve color balance of broadband objects such as galaxies. As with other IDAS interference filters, the bandpasses are designed to accommodate the steep ray angles of fast optical systems.

Features include:

  • Ideal flat-top and moderate Band-pass
  • Excellent in-band transmission
  • Steep Band-pass edges minimize internal reflections
  • Near IR (NIR) is blocked up to 1200nm
  • Available in 52mm and 48mm sizes
  • 2.5mm thickness (Par focal with other IDAS LPS filters)
  • IDAS-proprietary IGAD/MBT/UFP quality
  • Made in Japan
* Natural sky glow sources blocked include upper atmosphere oxygen and sodium lines which become visible from high-altitude, dark sky sites. See videos at the bottom of this page for background information on natural sky glow.
