Orion E-Series 13% Transmission Moon Filter 1.25"
The Orion E-Series 13% Transmission Moon Filter helps improve contrast and tone down glare for higher more contrasted views of lunar features! The Moon is one of the most interesting objects to observe through a telescope. Its many craters, rugged mountains, deep canyons and large, dark lunar "seas" formed by ancient volcanic activity are all fascinating sights to behold in any size telescope.
When looking at the Moon through a telescope, bright reflected sunlight can produce significant glare. The Moon's disk, even at partial phases, is so intensely bright with reflected sunlight that it can be a challenge to observe detailed surface features. This inexpensive filter threads directly into a 1.25" eyepiece barrel and blocks 87% of the light gathered by the telescope, making for more comfortable lunar views which exhibit higher contrast. Once installed on a 1.25" telescope eyepiece, the Orion 13% Transmission Moon Filter will bring out considerably more detailed views of lunar surface details! The Moon is a delightful target for backyard astronomers of all skill levels. Whether you're just getting started in the hobby of amateur astronomy, or are a more seasoned stargazer, improve your views of the Moon easily with the inexpensive 1.25" Orion E-Series 13% Transmission Moon Filter!
