Apertura ND96-0.9 Neutral Density Filter - 1.25"
A Powerful Neutral Density Filter for the Night's Brightest Objects!
Reveal hidden detail on some of the night sky's brightest objects with this powerful ND filter! With a strong filtering profile that passes just 13% of the light illuminating your eyepiece housed in a widely compatible 1.25" filter format, pulling back the veil on washed out features is simple! Enhance your view of some of the most brilliant objects in the night sky, with the Apertura ND96-0.9 Neutral Density Filter - 1.25"!
When it comes to viewing some of the most luminous objects in the inky ocean of the night sky, you may find the light gathering power of your telescope a bit too effective; washing out the terrain on the Moon, delicate gradients in the Venusian atmosphere, and faint separation of double stars. With the Apertura ND96-0.9 Neutral Density Filter however, you can tame this excessive illumination and reveal the stunning stellar detail hiding behind the brilliant bloom from these objects! By reducing the light passing through your eyepiece by 87% this filter provides you with a strong darkening effect to resolve detail of very bright features or incredibly bright telescope and eyepiece combinations. This "sunglasses-like" effect does not add any tint, rendering celestial details in natural color. It installs simply, with an 1.25" filter cell that can be threaded on to the front of many eyepieces, diagonals, and Barlows, and then installed directly into your 1.25" focuser.
Effectively Reduce the Illumination Through Your Eyepiece!
The Apertura ND96-0.9 Neutral Density Filter - 1.25" provides an aggressive illumination blocking effect for your visual observations, helping illuminate fainter details on bright objects by simply attaching this to your 1.25" observing equipment!
Neutral Density Filtering
With a neutral density
filter design, this visual add-on reduces incoming light to just 13% of its
original brightness without adding the tint present in some similar filters.
This will enhance your lunar observations, revealing fainter details in the
seas, craters, and peaks, especially in brighter phases of the Moon. Shading
your view can also benefit your observations of some other celestial
objects; by taming the twinkle of double stars to assist with splitting
them, and reducing Venus' radiance to help bring some of the faint detail
visible in its atmosphere some a bit more to the forefront. This effective
and easy to use filtering makes the Apertura ND96-0.9 Neutral Density Filter
an excellent addition to your visual accessory toolkit!

eyepiece, diagonal, Barlow, or other visual filter holding accessory, to
darken your observations on bright objects! This filter additionally
features 1.25" filter threads on the front for filter stacking*, and
comes with a plastic protective case to safely store your filter when it is
not in use.
*Please Note: While you can create an unique and interesting filter

light passing through your eyepiece.
