When handling multiple filters, minimizing the effort required for attachment and detachment is crucial. The Magnetic Slim StarScape Kit is optimized for this preparation, making it ideal for astrophotography in the darkness.

      For photographers working in the dark, the included glow-in-the-dark, Luminous stickers in various sizes (large, medium, and small) offer significant advantages.

The different sizes allow for flexible use of various gear, from the large and medium intended to be attached to the filter frame, and small to the flange side visible.

Highlighting Star Brightness in Astrophotography

In astrophotography, capturing the brilliance of the starry sky is paramount. The White Powder Mist filter is designed to softly diffuse the light of bright stars against the dark sky, beautifully enhancing the brilliance of constellations. This filter faithfully reproduces landscape details without compromising resolution, ensuring that every shot is both clear and stunning.

The below stunning astrophotography was taken by a famous Japanese astrophotographer, Teruyasu Kitayama, using White Powder Mist 1/4 in the StarScape Kit to highlight the brightness in Astrophotography.

The White Powder Mist filter uses white particles within the glass to diffuse light. When combined with the StarScape filter, which cuts light pollution from artificial light sources, these two combinations create a cool, pristine night sky while maximizing the brilliance of the stars. The kit includes two types of diffusion effects (1/2 and 1/4), allowing for versatile use in different conditions.

Cut Light Pollution

In modern inhabited areas, it is hard to see the Milky Way in urban cities, and when you take a picture, the night skyscape sometimes turns yellowish. This color shift phenomenon is caused by, so to say, "Light Pollution".
This color shift makes the starscape-/nightscape photograph enthusiasts very annoyed.
