What filters are available for piggy back photography that reduce skyglow and enhance nebulae etc? I have Nikon lenses with 52mm filter size.
Another filter question

Chris,
Hutech Astronomical products make a skyglow filter in the 52mm size you want for $189.00. It's called an IDAS LPS filter. Alot of reviews prefair this one over Lumicons Deep Sky filter and it's abit cheaper too.
They are not recomended for Focal lengths less than 100mm though as they cause a colour shift towards the edge of the film due to the light rays passing through the filter at an angle and therefor passing through a thicker amount of the filter. Hopefully you have a longer lens.
Good Luck,
Steve. PS this is there web site http://www.sciencecenter.net/hutech/filters.htm
