Light Pollution Filter for wide field imaging

[Fatih Buyuktas]

Hi,
I want to take photos of mainly wide field objects (nebulas) from light polluted skies. Which filter do you recommend? Hutech LPS or Baader UHC-S? or any other options?
(I'll be using FS-60C with EOS400D)

Thanks,
Fatih

Fatih, I know John over at Adirondack has quite a few filters that would probably meet your needs in reference to you Tak FS-60/Canon EOS Camera.

See if they have an IDAS LP filter as this is the one that I use personally and works very well.

I have had good luck with the IDAS LPS filter. I live in San Jose with a VLM of 3 being a good night .
