Seben moon filter

[ambrishnat]

Has anyone had any experience with Seben moon filters? It's the cheapest out there, however I notice it doesn't mention anything about exactly how much light it cuts out, and I have heard some dodgy things about Seben scopes.

This is it here: http://www.ebay.com/itm/Seben-Moon-Filter-MF1-pure-glass-31-7mm-1-25-/380392606375?pt=LH_DefaultDomain_0&hash=item58912a8aa7

Your link didn't point to the Seben moon filter. The Seben moon filter doesn't look too impressive Seben moon filter

Interesting how they spend a lot of copy writing about how high quality they are and yet the description is extremely vague and short on details.

To me that speaks volumes. Caveat emptor.

Don't buy Seben products, they're rubbish, get an ND96 (0.09) filter for the moon, anything is better than Seben IMO

I have one of these filters (dont ask how or why)

Anyway they are pure glass and from the colour I would say they are manufactured from recycled green bottles.

If you want to see what the moon (or anything) looks like bright green then this is the perfect product for you.

As far as using it as a filter don't bother.

If your aim is to reduce brightness, I'd just wear sun glasses to observe. Given it's a Seben, it's probably worse than you average pair of sun glasses.
