Wanted Lumicon DeepSky Filter

Hi all

I don't suppose anyone would have a Lumicon DeepSky Filter for sale.

I need one that is a least two inch, but larger is ok as well.

What i really need is 52mm, but no one in Aust has one, so i thought of all you good people out there.

Thanks Leon l

Leon,

Hutech have IDAS LPR filter that is available in lots of sizes.

I am using this filter at the moment and is the best light polution filter I have used...it has a comparison with the lumicon your after as well.

And if that doesn't work, consider a 2" to something like 52mm adaptor.
2" in filters is actually 48mm, so if you can find a 48mm - 52mm adaptor then you are home and hosed. But of course, first you need that 2" Deep Sky.

Hi gbeal, yea your right i do need to get my hands on one, and i can from Bintel Sydney, but boy, are they pricey, not much change out of 350.00 dollars, so i thought i would try here first.
And i do have plenty of stepping rings so that's not a problem either.
thanks anyway..cheers Leon

Seben Filters any good?

They sure seem to be cheap (AU$ 60) for an UHC type...not sure if you can get a 2"...
