I've been very pleasantly surprised at how well this filter enhances the contrast of emission nebulae. I'd read reports that the SVBONY UHC filter doesn't measure up to the pricier filters (and it may not -- I haven't compared it to any of those yet), but like most SVBONY products I've bought, I feel like I've gotten my money's worth... and more!

I purchased two of these and mounted them behind the eyepieces in a pair of 10X50 binoculars. These should work well to increase the contrast of some large deep sky objects.

Use to reduce overexposed stars on long exposure photos. Works well on weak color nebulas, especially red ones. Minimizes the blue halos around bright stars typical with achromatic lenses. Drops out a bit of the dark blues though, so caution on targets containing blues. However it worked well on the Trifed nebula as the attached photo shows.

I bought an old EOS 500d and tried to take astro photos from light polluted city. Results were not perfect so I bought this filter. Filter seems to be of high quality and fits well into camera. It seems to work and improves contrast on faint object however color shift is not easy to handle. Also it reduces amount of light entering camera so exposure must be much longer.

First off, I’m a newbie to Astronomy. I could not see anything in the Houston polluted skies! My Celestron 70az would show nothing but pure darkness. This filter pulls in the light! I can finally see the stars! It’s so amazing! I can’t wait until I get really good at this, so I can upgrade my telescope.

I believe my filter might be defective. I couldn't figure out why I was getting a red to blue gradient on all my astrophotography images. I'm sending a sample image. I thought at first it was because of the street lights, or maybe my camera was defective or maybe my telescope needed collimated. After experimenting around for a few weeks it finally came down to it is the filter. It's not like I have a clear night every night to test this thing. But I see it only had a 30 day return policy. So apparently I'm out of luck. Update: I did report this to svbony and they immediately sent me a new one even though it was past the 30 days. Initial testing shows that this new filter is working correctly. I will change my review from 1 star to 4 stars for their customer service response.

This broadband (50nm) UHC works well and has allowed me to view nebula (other than M42 / Orion Nebula) for the very first time from my light polluted backyard. I never thought I would be able to detect nebula from my backyard, where I do most of my visual observing using 8" and 10" F5 dobs. I'm in a red/white light pollution zone which is considered "Bortle 8" aka "can't see ****, captain". This filter hits well above its weight and is comparable to a more expensive Optolong UHC filter. Even with most of my city using LED street lights, whose light pollution is harder to filter out, this filter performed exceptionally and allowed me to detect nebulosity in Scorpius last night. The nebulosity was faint, but it was absolutely there. I didn't need to use averted vision or any other aids to detect it. With visual observing, you can't expect bright Hubble views albeit I suspect this filter would work exceptionally well for astrophotographers, who will be able to achieve great results with this filter + long exposures. The fact that I could visually detect any nebula at all that wasn't M42 in Orion makes this worth the measly $20 paid. Members of a popular astronomy forum have sent the SVbony UHC filters out to Lumicon- one of the top optics and filter labs- and it revealed that this filter is virtually identical in performance to Optolong UHC filter and may even be the same thing. The Optolong is well regarded and sells for $80; a $20 SVbony performing the same as a filter that is 4X as expensive is a great deal. The price and the performance of this makes it a must have filter if you don't have one. I'm not a fan of filters as I find the price:performance underwhelming for visual observing, but this filter hits all the right notes. I will likely buy SVbony's 2" version of this filter, I like its performance enough that I want it available for my 2" wide field EPs. I wish SVbony made an OIII; I'd buy it in a heartbeat if it performed as well as this UHC.
