moon filter

[claire19]

Hi

Just wondering if anyone can help please.

I have spotted a green moon filter on ebay and was wondering of the coloured ones distort the colour of the moon in any way

Thanks in advance.

best moon filter for me is the ND 096, it takes the glare of a bright moon wiith out blocking any detail/resolution

Hi Claire,

I fully agree with Jules's recommendation of a ND 096 Neutral Density filter, it reduces the glare without materially effecting the grey shades on the Moon.

I use a Meade ND 96 (0.9) which gives a 13% reduction of the glare, a ND 96 (0.6) filter would reduce it by 25%.

I think a green Moon would look a bit cheesy!!!

The green filter sometimes helps with Mars and Jupiter.

Remember to get a filter that has the same diameter as your eyepieces....

Cheers

Adrian

Agree with the advice above. I also use a 25% neutral density filter.
