The Moon is too bright – tone it down a bit

The Moon can be so bright that you can easily read a newspaper by its light at night. But anyone looking through a telescope will note just how bright the Moon really is. It often irritates the retina and dazzles the eye in unpleasantly. No wonder – the full Moon is 25,000 times brighter than the brightest star in the night sky. So having a neutral density filter is definitely an ‘ace up your sleeve’ when observing the brighter lunar phases.

Filter with 25% light transmission

This filter is ideal for smaller and medium-sized telescopes up to a diameter of 150mm. The 25% light transmission reduces the brightness of the moonlight, allowing you to observe the Moon at any time – in comfort and without glare.

Polished glass for a clear view

You are purchasing a first class product with the Omegon Moon filter – a polished glass filter held in an anodised aluminium mount. The filter glass has been ground and stained throughout the entire glass volume. This avoidance of using a superficial coating means that it cannot wear out, even after many years of use.

A Moon filter belongs in the eyepiece case of every amateur astronomer. But, above all, it is a must for comfortable lunar observing.
