Picture of Contrast Booster Filter 2.0"

Contrast Booster Filter 2.0"

Manufacturer : Baader Planetarium
Part Number : BPCB2

The ultimate contrast filter for all refractive optical systems. Eliminates color error of inexpensive achromatic doublet objectives to provide the highest level of definition while correcting color balance. Surface details on the Moon and planets stand out boldly. You haven't really seen Jupiter's Great Red Spot though your achromatic refractor until you've used this filter.

Its different than the rest
Ed gave this a totally erroneous review. This is NOT a refractor color fringe reducing filter, and his review should be ignored. This is a light pollution reduction filter. It does the job by rejecting narrow bands of the most objectionable light. It is the brightest LPR filter I know of that still improves the contrast of images significantly. It is also a good planetary filter, do you get two filters for one price. If you only own one LPR filter, buy this one.

Works but at a colorization cost.
I am looking for a filter to kill off the chromatics my Meade AR-6 exhibits on bright objects.
The Baader contrast filter does the job but adds a washed out green color that to me is not acceptable.
I am hoping when the 2 fringe killer comes out it will do what I am looking for.
Not worth the money, IMO.
