STARRY NIGHT PROSOFTON

Kenko STARRY NIGHT PROSOFTON – Light Pollution Cut & Soft Effect Filter

The Kenko STARRY NIGHT PROSOFTON is an innovative filter designed for night sky photographers.

It combines two essential functions in one:

•
Light pollution reduction for clearer, more natural night skies,
•
and a soft effect that enhances star brightness without losing foreground sharpness.

This filter effectively absorbs unwanted light spectra from sodium and mercury lamps, reducing the orange glow of urban areas and producing natural, high-contrast colors in the night sky.
At the same time, it softens starlight to make bright stars stand out more vividly, while keeping landscapes, buildings, and mountains crisp and detailed.
Made of multi-coated colored glass, the STARRY NIGHT PROSOFTON ensures uniform light transmission and prevents color shifts across the image — even when using wide-angle or ultra-wide lenses.

Its low-profile frame minimizes vignetting, and the anti-reflective black-rimmed glass reduces flares and ghosting.
A practical, all-in-one solution that saves space, avoids stacking filters, and delivers outstanding image quality.
