Product Description

1.25" Orion 13% Transmission Moon Filter
1.25" Orion 13% Transmission Moon Filter, accessories

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.

4 Stars
It isn’t great
They scratch the case, and it’s pretty dim. YOU DO NOT SEE MORE DETAIL WITH THIS LENS ITS ALL JUST A CASH GRAB!!Do NOT purchase unless you can’t handle the moons brightness, I would say if your eyes can’t handle the brightness of the moon then you shouldn’t be using telescopes.Let your eyes adjust to the night, and I mean IN THE DARK WITHOUT LOOKING AT A PHONE for 30 minutes along with your telescope to adapt to the tempsYour telescope manual even tells you to let it sit outside for 30 minutes before looking through it.
