Celestron Moon Filter - 1.25" Description

The Celestron Moon Filter - 1.25" is an essential accessory for both amateur astronomers and casual stargazers looking to enhance their lunar observations. The Moon, being the most frequently viewed celestial body through backyard telescopes, captivates with its beauty and mystery, connecting us all as we gaze upon it from different corners of the Earth. However, the brightness of the Moon can make it challenging to discern finer details, especially during the full moon phase.

Just as sunglasses protect our eyes from harsh sunlight, the Celestron Moon Filter serves to reduce glare and improve the contrast of lunar features. This filter allows your eyes to relax and open up, enhancing your ability to see intricate details that might otherwise be lost in the brightness. Imagine spotting craters, mountains, and valleys on the Moon’s surface with newfound clarity—this filter makes that possible.

Using the Celestron Moon Filter is a breeze. It easily screws onto the insert barrel of most 1.25” eyepieces, transforming your regular eyepiece into a specialized tool for lunar observations in mere seconds. This versatility extends beyond the Moon; the filter is also effective for viewing bright planets such as Venus and for terrestrial scenes that may be overly bright, such as landscapes covered in sand or snow. It's important to note that this filter is not suitable for solar observation, ensuring that your eye safety is maintained while you explore the wonders of the night sky.
