Bring Out the Fine Detail Behind Bright Objects!

Increase the detail of bright objects in your eyepiece with this ND filter! With a 25% transmission in an 1.25" threaded cell, giving your visual accessories some shade is simple task; so give your gear a quick and effective upgrade with the Apertura ND96-0.6 Neutral Density Filter - 1.25" and reveal the faint details of some the night's brightest object!

If you've ever viewed the full Moon through a telescope, you'll be familiar with its incredible brightness. While its brilliance is awe-inspiring in itself, it can overpower your eyepiece and conceal some of the splendor of its surface. Other objects, like Venus and double stars, can also veil some of their features behind their powerful shine. The Apertura ND96-0.6 Neutral Density Filter helps tame the powerful light from these celestial objects, reducing the light through your eyepiece by 75%. This provides a "sunglasses-like" effect, bringing forward details previously washed out in the incredible illumination! This filter enhances your view without changing the colors passing through your eyepiece. 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 ND96-0.6 Neutral Density Filter - 1.25" provides a strong 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 25% 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 ND96-0.6 Neutral Density Filter an excellent addition to your visual accessory toolkit!

Quality Design
The Apertura ND96-0.6 Neutral Density Filter has been fitted into a 1.25" filter cell that makes it compatible with a wide variety of visual gear. Simply thread this into the front of your 1.25" threaded 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 profile with this method, each filter addition will further reduce the light passing through your eyepiece.
