Product Description
The Moon's disk, even at partial phases, is intensely bright with reflected sunlight. The glare washes out most of the craters, rilles, and other surface details from view. Our 1.25" Orion 13% Transmission Moon Filter reduces the glare, allowing transmission of only 13% of the reflected light. Not only will you see more surface features, but you can study them in greater comfort. The filter reduces irradiation, which is the distortion at the boundary between light and dark areas, such as along the lunar terminator. The Orion Moon Filter is especially useful to owners of large-aperture scopes, in which the Moon's brightness can be overwhelming. It uniformly reduces light over the entire visible spectrum. Filter screws into threaded eyepiece barrel for secure attachment.

Great quality - it threaded into my eyepieces smoothly and with no problem. Feels well-made. Delivered quickly too.
If you’re wondering whether or not you really need this product — you do. Might even be worth getting a couple of these to avoid the minor hassle of switching between commonly used eyepieces.
Threads in quick and simple and is easily put into my eyepiece or removed.
