Hi Mick,

Funnily enough Broadband LPR filters actually do a really good job as Planetary Contrast Enhancement filters. Most people don't even try them for this purpose, but they work really well. They reduce irradiation, which improves the contrast between colour change boundaries.

As Don detailed earlier, they don't do much good as LPR filters under light polluted skies, but try it out on the planets

Cheers
