DARK SECRETS: Kenko prosofton clear filter review can an image blurring soft filter make stars sharper i find out | Rare Historical Photos

Kenko PROSOFTON Clear PRO1D (W) Astro Filter.

Astro-lovers delight! Kenko’s PRO1D Prosofton Clear (W) filter claims to produce clearer shots of starry skies. It does this by softening the image which may sound counter-intuitive, but by slightly blurring the stars they can appear larger and more prominent in your night sky photographs, or at least that's the theory anyway.

Kenko claims this filter, the Prosofton Clear (W), is designed to deliver ‘optimal’ soft filter results for nightscape photography with just enough softness to bring out detail in starry constellations, yet retain sharp detail in the foreground. Its softening effect is also half that of Kenko’s Prosofton Clear (A) filter.
