Featuring advanced plasma-assisted, ionbeam-hardened multi-layer coatings, it delivers ultra-high contrast views of nebulae and star fields, making it an essential upgrade for amateur astronomers using 1.25-inch telescopes seeking sharper, brighter celestial observations. ## Description Product Description Our 1-1/4" Light Pollution Reduction (LPR) Filters are designed to selectively reduce the transmission of certain wavelengths of light, specifically those produced by artificial light. This includes mercury vapor and both high and low pressure sodium vapor lights and the unwanted natural light caused by neutral oxygen emission in our atmosphere (i.e. sky glow). The ultra high contrast (UHC) LPR filter has improved contrast over the typical broadband filters. Sky background is darker and contrast of emission nebulae are noticeably improved. The advanced technology coatings enable the filter to achieve an outstanding transmission of over 97 percent across the entire bandpass with total blockage of prominent light pollution lines. The perfect filter for viewing nebula from light polluted skies or for boosting the contrast of nebula from dark sky sites. In addition to it's optimum spectral and optical characteristics, the UHC/LPR filter offers important features that set it apart and result in the highest quality celestial views: The multi-layer dielectric coatings are plasma assisted and Ionbeam hardened using the latest technology for durability and resistance to scratching. Improved transmission translates to maximum image brightness and contrast. Users of smaller, 4"-11" telescopes will especially appreciate the high efficiency and larger scope users will love the rich star fields and detailed subtle nebular shadings that are left intact. The high transmission, sharp cutoffs and more moderate 60nm passband of the UHC/LPR filter retains a more natural view, yet significantly boosts overall contrast. Imagers will appreciate the broader bandpass and inclusion of an extremely efficient H-Alpha passband (656nm). Set Contains: 1 x UHC/LPR Filter 1.25 inch Review: ATTENTION AUX COMMENTAIRES QUI CONCERNENT LE FILTRE LUNAIRE - Le filtre LPR, lui, est un filtre très performant au support parfaitement usiné en aluminium, et s'avère très utile en ciel profond pour les nébuleuses. Review: My most "interesting" filter - Dear fellow Astronomers I have been told that Astrophotography is a "rabbit hole", which you vanish down, with a lot of pounds/dollars on the way. So I don't do Astrophotograpy. However with the visual, you can always defend a few extra bits, if budget allows. I bought a lovely set of Celestron Eyepieces and filters (their box set). I am more than happy with them, then someone mentioned a filter that increases contrast and reduces light pollution ! I sighed heavily and looked into This product. A must-have, I thought,.... and still do, after trying it out. Firstly, you may see reviews, that comment on the "blue rinse" look to the images, but that is what filters do. You cannot delete (filter !) certain wavelengths, without enhancing the other wavelengths. Does it enhance contrast and detail, yes. Galaxies/Nebulea have become more obvious, when only tentatively there, without. This with my Celestron Nexstar C8. I have yet to thrash out how good the planets are, later this year. Expecting good things As to street light pollution, I think the filter may be better against Sodium Vapour Lamps, than modern day LED lamps. I had looked forward to downward-pointing LED street lights, for better observing. Out with the Sodium Orange/Yellow. Where I live, they are now, mainly intense blue/white LEDs now. It scatters, the same reason why the sky is blue . Worse ! I shall accept the small, yet noticeable, benefit that I have been given by this filter . I like it loads, however, only buy if you and your budget is/are fine with it. Everybody has different opinions. ## Features - Designed to selectively reduce the transmission of certain wavelengths of light - Ultra high contrast (UHC) LPR filter has improved contrast over the typical broadband filters - Coatings enable the filter to achieve a transmission of over 97 percent across the entire bandpass - Multi-layer dielectric coatings are plasma assisted and Ionbeam hardened ## Technical Specifications | Specification | Value | |---------------|-------| | ASIN | B00080L42K | | Best Sellers Rank | #4,308 in Electronics ( See Top 100 in Electronics ) #1 in Telescope Filters | | Brand | Celestron | | Built-In Media | 1 x Celestron 1.25-inch UHC/LPR Filter, Black | | Coating Description | Multi Coating | | Coating description | Multi Coating | | Color | Multicolor | | Compatible Devices | Telescopes Celestron | | Country of Origin | USA | | Customer Reviews | 4.4 out of 5 stars 127 Reviews | | Enclosure Material | Optical Glass | | Global Trade Identification Number | 00050234941235 | | Item Dimensions L x W | 32L x 32W millimeters | | Item Type Name | Filter | | Item Weight | 0.03 Kilograms | | Manufacturer | Celestron Acquisition, LLC | | Manufacturer Part Number | 94123-CGL | | Material | Optical Glass | | Media Type | Image | | Model Name | 94123-CGL | | Model Number | 94123-CGL | | Number of Pieces | 1 | | Photo Filter Factor | 1 x | | Photo Filter Size | 31.75 Millimeters | | Photo filter effect type | Enhancing | | Photo filter thread size | 31.75 Millimeters | | Screen Size | 1.25 Inches | | Set Name | Celestron 1.25 inch UHC/LPR filter | | Special Effect | Enhancing | | Thread Size | 31.75 Millimeters | | UPC | 050234941235 | | Unit Count | 1 Count | | Warranty Description | 2 Year Manufacturer | | Water Resistance Level | Not Water Resistant | | Water resistance level | Not Water Resistant | ## Product Details - **Brand:** Celestron - **Coating description:** Multi Coating - **Material:** Optical Glass - **Photo filter effect type:** Enhancing - **Photo filter thread size:** 31.75 Millimeters ## Images ![Celestron 1.25-inch UHC/LPR Filter, Black - Image 1](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/61B6lEgLU1L.jpg) ![Celestron 1.25-inch UHC/LPR Filter, Black - Image 2](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/51IE+hYbu8L.jpg) ![Celestron 1.25-inch UHC/LPR Filter, Black - Image 3](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/51tmgnkcc9L.jpg) ## Available Options This product comes in different **Size** options. ## Customer Reviews ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ ATTENTION AUX COMMENTAIRES QUI CONCERNENT LE FILTRE LUNAIRE *by R***N on 20 June 2017* Le filtre LPR, lui, est un filtre très performant au support parfaitement usiné en aluminium, et s'avère très utile en ciel profond pour les nébuleuses. ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ My most "interesting" filter *by A***. on 19 July 2025* Dear fellow Astronomers I have been told that Astrophotography is a "rabbit hole", which you vanish down, with a lot of pounds/dollars on the way.
