I'd better stop "shooting from the hip". In 2007 I said:-

"It had an interesting effect on Eta Carina - it went deep red. For fun, I turned the scope on Antares which was also a deep red colour."

I think that might make more sense than violet?

Time to have another careful look. Of course, apart from using a star to refocus with the filter in place, one is too busy looking at the enhanced nebula to pay careful attention to the stars!

Edit: Spotted some more on CN:-

"Yes, the NPB does yield small secondary red flarings on bright objects, but it does so at a level which is less than that seen with my Lumicon UHCs." David W. Knisely
