The Kenko "soften" filter simulates high clouds or light fog,        softening the appearance of stars and other bright objects in astronomical        photos. By spreading the light of point sources out (see star profile graphs        at right), star saturation on a digital imager is reduced, allowing the true        colors of the stars to be recorded. 
Many astrophotographers find this aesthetically pleasing as well as        useful particularly for wide-field photos where the bright stars of a        constellation stand out compared to dimmer stars.
