Stunning Views of Our Solar System
With blue light scattering the most within our atmosphere, having a yellow filter, the complementary color of blue, helps block unwanted atmospheric illumination from entering your eyepiece. This targeted filtering improves contrast between the light and dark regions displayed on the planets and the Moon for increased sharpness and clarity! Be amazed by the improved level of detail of the craters, the mountain ridges, and maria on the lunar surface, the boundaries across the Martian terrain, and the subtle atmospheric details on Venus if your viewing conditions are favorable. When it comes to viewing the gas giants, this Apertura Light Yellow Filter will help you resolve the orange and reddish features of their cloudy belts and darken the subtle blue tones of their atmospheric currents. With a large enough telescope, even sights of Uranus and Neptune are accentuated!
Built With Quality in Mind
Composed of high quality, solid plane parallel glass, you can expect superb results with this Apertura Light Yellow Filter! Its precision-engineered design delivers top-tier performance, giving way to sights as sharp as possible. The glass surfaces are treated with anti-reflection coatings to further enhance performance, reducing glare and ghosting. Thanks to its black anodized aluminum body, this durable filter is built to withstand repeated use night after night! Both male and female threads can be found on the body of this filter for seamless integration into your optical path, while also enabling filter stacking.
