Abstract
The size of the blur circle due to chromatic aberration in daylight is calculated. The spectral transmittance necessary to reduce the resultant penumbra to a threshold level is computed. The characteristics of such an ideal filter are similar to the transmittance of the macular pigment found in the human eye.
