DSLR clip in filter

#1

Post by jazzin »


I took my Astronomik light pollution clip in filter out to clean it and now I can seem to get it to clip back in.

Shouldn't it just clip right back in and stay? Mine won't clip, it just falls out.

Anybody had this happen to them and how did you fix it?

I missed this post before. I hope you got it fixed. Have you considered imaging without the light pollution filter? Back when I had a DSLR I had one, then I tried without it and I got better results that were easier to process.
