Home Filters Lunar & Planetary Filters Celestron Moon Filter Set
The Moon is probably the most viewed object in the night sky, a telescope will easily reveal a vast amount of detail but often this can be spoilt by the extreme brightness at the eyepiece. A moon filter will reduce the brightness or light transmission perfectly well but all moon filters are not equal - this premium set not only has three different transmission filters but they are all ND. ND (neutral density) means only the light level changes, the colour wavelenghts are unchanged to provide a true image. Four filters for versatilityFour great premium quality Moon filters in one kit - everything you’ll ever need for optimal views of the lunar surface. Three neutral density (ND) filters with different levels of light transmission (13%, 25%, and 50%) allow you to choose the perfect filter for your viewing conditions Includes a Light pollution filterThe Moon & Sky Glow filter provides high contrast views of the lunar surface and enhances observation of deep sky objects from light polluted skies by rejecting unwanted wavelengths Premium qualityAluminum filter cells provide a rigid, durable housing for the optical filter glass and are threaded on the top and bottom for stacking filtersA durable plastic carrying case The Moon Filter Set comes with a foam-lined plastic case to store all four filters when they are not in use and protect them during transit. Moon map and legend Familiarize yourself with the Moon, our neighboring world with the help of our handheld Moon map. The Moon map comes complete with a legend highlighting 17 key features to explore including Sea of Tranquility, Tycho, Plato, Copernicus and many more. Premium Filter HousingsEach filter is housed in an aluminum cell, providing a rigid, durable frame for the filter glass. The filters thread onto Celestron 1.25” eyepieces and most other 1.25” eyepieces with a standard filter thread. The filters have threads on the top and bottom to stack with other filters for even more light filtration options.
Our Moon is the most popular object to observe with a telescope. It’s an obvious target that’s easy to locate and full of exciting geographical features to explore. Moon filters enhance lunar viewing by cutting down on the Moon’s bright glare, improving contrast and making faint details easier to observe. Amateur astronomers refer to Moon filters as “sunglasses for the Moon” because they provide a more comfortable view and reduce eye fatigue.This Moon Filter Set contains all the filters you will ever need to observe the Moon during its various phases. The set allows you to choose the best filter to use with different eyepiece and telescope combinations. Use the darkest filter with larger aperture telescopes and lower magnification eyepieces. Use the lighter filters with smaller telescopes and higher magnification eyepieces.This kit is essential for those looking to take the next step in exploring their telescope’s full lunar capability, or for seasoned lunar observers who use a variety of telescopes and eyepieces to observe the Moon.In this kit, you will receive: Three neutral density (ND) filters: ND96-0.9 13% T, ND96-0.6 25% T, and ND96-0.3 50% T —These filters dim the entire visual spectrum from 400-700nm equally. The ND96-0.9 filter transmits 13% of the incoming light, the ND96-0.6 transmits 25% and the ND96-0.3 transmits 50%. They do not impart any color to the Moon, but reduce lunar brightness. With several ND filters to choose from, you can find just the right level of light transmission for the Moon depending on its phase, the aperture of your telescope, and the magnification of your eyepiece. ND filters can also be used reduce the glare from Venus to better see its crescent phases, and to help dim bright daytime views when using a telescope terrestrially. A Moon & Sky Glow filter This filter selectively reduces light transmission at different wavelengths and greatly improves contrast for observing subtle lunar features. This filter imparts a very light purple color to the Moon. For those in light-polluted skies, the Moon & Sky Glow filter provides some contrast enhancement when viewing deep sky objects due to the filter blocking some wavelengths associated with common forms of light pollution, e.g. low-pressure sodium (LPS) street lights.

Clear and perfect The colour on the moon stays accurate and these are well crafted filters especially for the price. Absolute bargain. I even dropped one on concrete from standing, and it's fine. Really impressed with these and glad I bought them. Highly recommend buying from here, as the service was fantastic!! (10/08/2022) Karmer - London
