Main concept
Condensation is the biggest enemy in astrophotography. The usual countermeasure is to use a lens heater. However, when using lens filters, the filters exposed to the air also need to be heated. Since a lens heater warms indirectly from the outside of the lens, it is difficult to sufficiently heat the center of the filter.
The "Anti-Fog" series solves this problem by generating heat directly within the filter itself, enabling rapid heating all the way to the center.
Anti-Fog HALF PROSOFTON Clear is a soft filter making bright stars glow to emphasize constellations.
The HALF PROSOFTON Clear provides a soft effect over slightly more than half of the filter, making bright stars glow to emphasize constellations. The PROSOFTON Clear effect is about half the strength of the Pro Softon [A].
