Shade Your View for Stellar Detail in Bright Objects!
Mute the overpowering illumination of some of the night's most radiant objects with the Apertura ND96-0.3 Neutral Density Filter - 1.25"! With a 50% transmission filtering effect, you can tease out finer details on stellar objects; and with an easy to install and widely compatible form factor, bring these views to your eyepiece has never been easier!
If your view of some of our universe's brightest celestial objects is a bit too overpowering, then the Apertura ND96-0.3 Neutral Density Filter is the perfect addition to your visual accessories! With a gentle filtering effect that cuts the light passing through your eyepiece by 50%, views through a moderately bright telescope and observing accessory combo or in slightly over-bright conditions like when the Moon is approaching full illumination. This shades your view and reveals details that excessive brightness can mask, such as the spellbinding lunar landscape, faint gradients in Venus' atmosphere, or the slight separation of double stars. This "sunglasses-like" effect does not add any tint, resolving these 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 ND96-0.3 Neutral Density Filter - 1.25" provides a gentle 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 half 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 ND96-0.3 Neutral Density Filter
an excellent addition to your visual accessory toolkit!
