The Moon's disk even at partial phases is intensely bright with reflected sunlight. The glare washes out most of the craters rilles and other surface details from view. Our 1.25" Orion 13% Transmission Moon Filter reduces the glare allowing transmission of only 13% of the reflected light. Not only will you see more surface features but you can study them in greater comfort. The filter reduces irradiation which is the distortion at the boundary between light and dark areas such as along the lunar terminator. The Orion Moon Filter is especially useful to owners of large-aperture scopes in which the Moon's brightness can be overwhelming. It uniformly reduces light over the entire visible spectrum. Screws into threaded eyepiece barrel.
- The Orion 1.25" 13% Transmission Moon Filter reduces the glare so you can see more lunar detail and surface features with your telescope
- Threads directly into the 1.25" barrel of your telescope eyepiece
- Especially useful for large aperture telescopes through which the light of the Moon can be extremely overwhelming
- Telescope eyepiece filter transmits only 13% of the incoming light boosting contrast and ability to discren detail on the Moon
- Perfectly neutral color will not alter the natural color of the Moon
Celestron's Moon Filters are economical eyepiece filters for reducing the brightness of the moon and improving contrast so greater detail can be observed on the lunar surface. The clear aperture is 21mm for the 1¼" filter. Transmission is about 18%.1¼" Moon Filter [94119-A]Eyepiece filters are an invaluable aid in lunar and planetary observing. They reduce glare and light scattering increase contrast through selective filtration increase definition and resolution reduce irradiation and lessen eye fatigue. Celestron's filters are made of high quality solid plane parallel glass with excellent homogeneity. They're anti-reflection coated to prevent glaring and ghosting. All eyepiece filters are threaded to fit Celestron's and most other manufacturer's 1¼" eyepieces and offer a full 26mm clear aperture. Celestron filters are mounted in black anodized aluminum cells with the Kodak Wratten Series Number individually engraved and come with a plastic case for safe storage. The cells of each filter are double-threaded so they can be stacked (piggybacked) in various combinations. This allows you to create different color combinations and transmission characteristics or to have the same color characteristic but with a lower transmission. When stacking color filters the effective transmission of the combination you create is equal to the product of the spectral transmission of each of the filters used.The effectiveness of the filters depends on

An excellent filter for beginniners!
This moon filter is a great way to explore the moon for beginniners! This filter can reduce the glare of the bright moon so you can explore the moon easily. But for experts I would recommend to get a Orion Poliarzing Filter (...). This is because somtimes the moon is too dark. With a poliarzing filter you can adjust the filter from 1-40%. For beginniners I would strongly recommened this filter but for experts I would get a Poliarzing filter.
