Moon Filtering
The illumination from the Moon, particularly in certain phases, can cloak some of its detail and wonder behind its incredible brightness. By blocking a large amount of this light the Apertura 1.25″ Moon Filter allows you to more clearly see the lunar landscape and its fantastic fine details. Observe the wonder of the Tycho crater, the spellbinding Sea of Tranquility, and more mesmerizing terrain on our Moon, with compelling contrast and clear detail thanks to this one easy to use upgrade! In addition to enhancing your view, this filter can also make for a more comfortable lunar observing experience by giving your eyepiece a “sunglass-like” effect—bringing the overpowering brightness of the Moon with some telescope, eyepiece, and lunar phase combinations down to something more manageable.
