1.25 inch Optical Lens Moon & Skyglow Filter for Astronomical Telescope
This 1.25-inch optical lens moon & skyglow filter is a valuable accessory for amateur astronomers who want to enhance their lunar and deep-space observations. It is designed to reduce the glare caused by the moon and artificial light sources, such as streetlights and security lights, which can interfere with the visibility of faint celestial objects. By blocking out unwanted light, this filter allows for a more detailed and enjoyable viewing experience.
Product Features:
- Effective Light Reduction: The moon & skyglow filter significantly reduces the brightness of the moon and sky background, making it easier to observe faint stars, nebulae, and galaxies.
- Improved Contrast: By reducing the amount of scattered light, the filter enhances the contrast between celestial objects and the background, resulting in sharper and more defined images.
- Enhanced Detail Visibility: The reduced glare allows for a better view of surface features on planets, such as craters on the moon or cloud bands on Jupiter.
- Broadband Filter: The filter has a wide transmission range, allowing it to be used with a variety of telescopes and eyepieces.
- Easy Installation: The 1.25-inch filter fits standard telescope eyepieces, making it quick and easy to attach or remove.
- Durable Construction: Made from high-quality optical glass and metal, the filter is built to withstand repeated use and harsh weather conditions.
- Versatile Applications: The moon & skyglow filter is not only suitable for lunar observations but also for enhancing the visibility of deep-sky objects in areas affected by light pollution.
