The Formatt 86mm Supermist Clear 1/4 Filter is both a diffusion filter and a good way to take the edge off of today's super sharp HD lenses. It is great for establishing a dreamy mood, yet, retains the overall sharpness of the image without making it look too soft. It lowers contrast by opening the shadows but does not spoil the overall look of the photo.

Formatt, a company with three generations of professional filter-making experience produces every filter to the highest technical standards. The finest materials, together with state of-the-art production technology have resulted in a standard of optical excellence unmatched anywhere else.

Q: 2. how does the wifi work? and is there a wedge that can be used for long exposure?

A: The Celestron SkyPortal WiFi Module that is included with this kit plugs into the Hand Control or AUX port and begins to generate it's own WiFi signal to directly connect to your mobile device without the need for a router. The SkyPortal module works in conjunction with the free SkyPortal mobile app available for iOS and Android devices. The app features a database of over 100,000 objects with astroimages and audio descriptions of hundreds of them including the history, mythology, and key features of them. It can assist with the telescope alignment and if you hold the screen up to sky, it will identify the objects based on your location, date, and time. The Celestron EQ Wedge for NexStar 6/8SE Evolution Telescopes would be the recommended wedge for this telescope: https://bhpho.to/2PfVBIX
