I am currently using a typical filter for Lunar Viewing. Celestron moon filter . Not VERY impressive. It is generally too dark , and the detail is weak. I get much better results with No Filter . Is there another option ? Thanks very much in advance

I am really impressed with my inexpensive Celestron Cometron 7 x 35 The moon was low to the horizon .The image was clear and sharp with NO light flares . The Craters and Mares were very visible at only 7 X Stars are sharp and clear. Perfect for scanning Bang for the Buck 10/10 just my 2 cents No I do not work for Celestron

I tested out the EP last night on some double stars and clusters , My favorite M 45 Pleiades was very sharp . They also all looked a little cleaner I am definitely NOT disappointed Thanks every one again .

Getting the most out of the Orion Starblast 6
freds replied to GVD82's topic in Discussions - Eyepieces
I have a Starblast 6 First of all I am new to astronomy ( 2 months ) and am happy with the Starblast 6 IMO. the Orion kit eyepieces are Good. They also have a lot of good reviews. For starters, before you spend lots of money. I would get a 2X barlow and go from there . With the barlow the 10mm will be 150X , good for planetary. The 25mm 30X is good for DSO's -
Thank you for all again for reply's I picked up the USED TV 32 with original and manual box, this morning ( It LOOKS NEW ) for $ 100.00 CDN about 50 pounds ( I think )
