Orion Moon Filter 1.25" Product Info We are able to see the Moon at night thanks to sunlight reflecting off its rocky surface. When looking at the Moon through a telescope, bright reflected sunlight can produce significant glare. The Moon's disk, even at partial phases, is in fact so intensely bright with reflected sunlight that observing surface details can be challenging due to the overwhelming glare. This glare can be so bright that it washes out most of the interesting lunar features such as craters, rilles, mountains, and valleys. The considerable brightness also reduces contrast on our nearest neighbor in the solar system. To improve contrast and tone down glare easily, we recommend using a neutral-density 1.25" Orion 13% Transmission Moon Filter. This inexpensive accessory threads directly into a 1.25" eyepiece barrel and blocks 87% of the light gathered by the telescope, making for more comfortable lunar views exhibiting higher contrast. Once installed on a 1.25" telescope eyepiece, the Orion 13% Transmission Moon Filter will bring out considerably more lunar surface details thanks to the boosted contrast. Not only will more surface features and details pop out, but you can study them in greater comfort, thanks to Moon Filter reducing overall brightness without altering color. This neutral-density telescope eyepiece filter reduces irradiation, which is the distortion at the boundary between light and dark areas, such as along the lunar terminator. Using a Moon filter also helps conserve dark-adapted vision while viewing the lunar surface, especially when using big telescopes with 6" of aperture and larger. The Moon is one of the most interesting objects in the night sky to observe through a telescope. Its rugged surface is a feast for the eyes of amateur astronomers, with fascinating craters, mountainous highlands, and large, dark lunar "seas" formed by ancient volcanic activity. Night after night, the Moon is a treasure-trove of visual adventures for astronomers of all skill levels. With a 1.25" Orion 13% Transmission Moon Filter you can affordably enhance all your views of Earth's natural satellite. Features: The Orion 1.25" 13% Transmission Moon Filter reduces glare so you can see more lunar detail and surface features with your telescope Metal filter cell threads directly into the 1.25" barrel of your telescope eyepiece Especially useful for large aperture telescopes through which the light of the Moon can be extremely overwhelming Telescope eyepiece filter transmits only 13% of the incoming light, boosting contrast and ability to discern detail on the Moon Perfectly neutral color will not alter the natural color of the Moon Package Contents: Orion Moon Filter 2"

Orion 2" Variable Polarizer Product Info This versatile 2" Orion Variable Polarizing Telescope Filter acts like a dimmer switch for your telescope, toning down the brightness of the Moon or planets to a comfortable level and revealing more surface details. The 2" Orion Variable Polarizing Telescope Filter consists of two high-grade glass polarizing filters in a rotating cell that allows you to vary the amount of light transmission from 1% to 40%. Such control is highly desirable for lunar observing because the Moon’s brightness varies with its phase and with the aperture and magnification of the telescope you are using. It’s also a must for viewing the Moon in daylight hours. Reducing the glare to an optimal level will reveal dramatically more lunar and planetary features, without significantly altering the objects’ color. The anodized aluminum cell threads into the barrel of any standard 2" telescope eyepiece. Includes a durable plastic storage case. Features of Orion 2" Variable Polarizer: A dimmer switch for your telescope! Helps to tone down brightness when viewing the Moon and planets to both optimize the view and reduce bright glare Reduced brightness and glare unmasks detail in your viewing subject and greatly improves contrast Adjust the amount of light transmission from 1% to 40% by rotating the eyepiece filter housing The filter has an anodized aluminum cell, which threads into the barrel of any 2" Orion eyepiece Foam-lined hard plastic filter storage case included Package Contents: Orion 2" Variable Polarizer

Orion Oxygen-III Filter 2" Product Info You can't turn up the luminosity on nebulas, but you can crank up the contrast between them and the sky to reveal more of their wondrous detail. Our Oxygen-III telescope filter provides extremely selective filtration to bring out elusive detail in diffuse and planetary nebulas. It does so by transmitting close to 90% of the light corresponding to the two oxygen-III spectral lines at 496nm and 501nm while completely blocking virtually all other wavelengths. The results are remarkable. You'll see more detail than you ever could before in nebular gems such as the Swan, Ring, Dumbbell, Helix, and Eagle, to name a few. The O-III provides an even greater contrast boost on some objects than the UltraBlock narrowband telescope filter. And for nebulas, every little bit helps! Try the Oxygen-III telescope filter with a low-power 2" telescope eyepiece and take in the whole Veil Nebula. Wow! Features: An Oxygen-III, or O-III, eyepiece filter helps reveal details and improve contrast when viewing nebulas through a telescope Filter transmits close to 90% of the light corresponding to two oxygen-III spectral lines at 496nm and 501nm wavelengths O-III eyepiece filter blocks virtually all other visible wavelengths of light for optimized nebula-viewing performance Made with high quality optical glass in a double-threaded, metal filter cell Recommended for use with telescopes of 8" aperture or greater and for visual use only Package Contents: Orion Oxygen-III Filter, 2"
