Save your money for something else

Finally a clear night to test Omegon UHC M56 filters with Omegon 2x54 binoculars. And what a waste of money have they been. Stars got fuzzier and dimmer. I had difficulties to see some bright stars like Castor from Gemini constellation. After a while I removed the filter from another lense and it got clear and sharp. After that I tried to refocus the filtered lense, but the view didn’t get any better. At some point my mind played some tricks and I thougt did I see some more colors in some stars, but I really can’t tell, because of the fuzzy view. And that wasn’t all. The filters caused some bad reflections to lenses from a street light. So no help against lights, but the opposite.
I will give the filters maybe one more chance to show some value when there is Orion Nebula over the horizon, but my expectations are very low at the moment.
I did try to ask from Astroshop personel, if the Omegon UHC filters have any use, if there are led lamps around, but it took three days to get an answer: A day after they had shipped the order, so not possible to make changes to the order anymore. But it wasn’t only the lamps fault for these filters to fail so badly.
This case exluded, I have had good experiences from Astroshop.eu. Even this time, the shipment of the whole order was faster than expected.
