Dark Sky Vs Weather Underground Canada

prefect wide angle for landscape and dark sky shots

A good filter and a good price. Dark as I need it (For Waterfall, Sea & Sky). Perfect!

I like the design and its usefulness in my home. I live in southern Ontario Canada, Our weather can change within hours.

The bin, I must say, is a deep sky marvel, if you're at a dark sight (practically required). This tripod I don't believe is rated for over 10lbs, which is necessarily a requirement in my opinion. The phone agent at B&H suggested I get instead a Magnus VT-350, and I'm happy to report that two are seemingly married to one another. Still, I find it difficult to snap the plate, having first been attached it to the rail, onto the tripod. I suspect, however, this is due primarily to the beefiness of the binocular (quite substantial), and no fault of the setup. And also to the fact that I've only practiced it once...

I just used this eyepiece last night at a dark sky site in the Sandhills. This Plossl is a good intermediate magnification with my long focal length Mewlon 180c reflector. It's also useful with my Takahashi FC-100 refractor. Televue's 20mm was used often last night. I really think these Televue Plossls are a good fit for even the best telescopes. You can see the difference.

Taking pictures of a beautiful sky and sun before dusk with field of corn in the foreground that at the time was a dark green - could not get correct exposure without this filter- rides on my workhorse Zeiss 18mm 3.5 from B&H

I can’t take a photo of the brilliant blue sky, bright snow and the forest on Mount Rainier without the forest being just a dark shadow. With this graduated filter I can bring out the forest and not have a washed out sky and dull white snow.

I purchased this to give my photo that bit of detail, esp with the deeper sky and dark blue waters. Its amazing. The salesman at B&H recommended I try this and it was worth every penny.

I will primarily use this for night sky and landscape shots. It is an amazing lens for extreme low light/dark sky sceneries. I can also see it being beneficial for realty photography; I can shoot an entire room with one snap. It is a fully manual lens which does not present a problem for me. I look forward towards capturing the Milky Way this spring. I had the Bower version of this lens years ago, did not know what i had and gave it to my sister...My mistake meant new purchase.

I live in the Pacific Northwest where the contrast between the dark green of evergreens against the sky can present contrast challenges to a photographer. A graduated neutral density filter allows you some measure of control and the ability to enhance detail. Tiffen HT filters are among the best you can buy, with durable coatings.
