Field of use, some examples
- Jupiter and Saturn
Significant contrast enhancement on reddish detail, the "Great Red Spot" appears more clearly. In opposite to simple colour filters, the objects do not appear extremely coloured. - Mars
General contrast enhancement, the polar ice caps become better visible. Detail on the planet's surface can be observed more easily. - Moon
Significant contrast enhancement, especially details off the terminator become better visible. - Twilight observation
General contrast enhancement, the sky's bluish part is reduced. - Daytime observation
General contrast enhancement is visible. The target object gets no significant colour shifting. - Observation of deep-sky nebulae
Gives more contrast especially for reddish H-alpha-structures. The background becomes darker. Very recommended for telescopes with smaller apertures where standard nebula filters take too much light. The picture remains natural.
