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 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.
- Orion Telescope Eyepiece Moon Filter reduce the glare so you can see more lunar detail and surface features with any telescope
- Threads directly into the 1.25" barrel of your telescope eyepiece
- Especially useful for the large aperture telescopes where the light of the moon can be extremely overwhelming
- Eyepiece filter that transmits only 13% of the incoming light
- The perfect accessory for any Orion's beginner telescope
