Moon Filtering
The illumination from the Moon,
particularly in certain phases, can cloak some of its detail and wonder
behind its incredible brightness. By blocking a large amount of this light
the Apertura 1.25" Moon Filter allows you to more clearly see the lunar
landscape and its fantastic fine details. Observe the wonder of the Tycho
crater, the spellbinding Sea of Tranquility, and more mesmerizing terrain on
our Moon, with compelling contrast and clear detail thanks to this one easy
to use upgrade! In addition to enhancing your view, this filter can also
make for a more comfortable lunar observing experience by giving your
eyepiece a "sunglass-like" effect—bringing the overpowering
brightness of the Moon with some telescope, eyepiece, and lunar phase
combinations down to something more manageable.
Quality Design
The Apertura 1.25" Moon Filter has been
designed to work with the vast majority of 1.25" eyepieces and Barlows on
the market today; with a M28.5x0.6 threading that attached to the bottom of
most of these visual accessories. This means using the filter is as simple
as threading the filter onto your visual accessory and then installing it
into you diagonal or focuser as you normally would! The filtering profile of
this visual filter has a transmission of about 18%, and has a green tint
that will be present in your view. The filter itself is made with a
high-grade optical glass substrate, and is covered with an Anti-Reflective
coating to prevent image ghosting and suppress glare. Finally, for
protecting your filter when it is not in use, Apertura has included a
plastic storage case.
