Neodymium Moon & Skyglow

Works best on Mars and Jupiter. I found it no help Saturn too. Works well on Deepsky too, giving a boost to the contrast.

A few days ago I try this filter also on Jupiter. It is a difference betwen filter or no filter but for me only slightly, but I still prefer to look on Jupiter with filter.

By the way - for a first time I can see Jupiter red spot. Only from time to time when atmosphere become more steady but I can see it.

Hi Saso,

Last night i was observing Jupiter too using my 127 Mak and the Filter it does make that small differance and with the small differance much more details come out.

Glad you observed the GRS 8)

Again last night the Moon Filter came into it's own, this time using a Meade zoom Eyepiece and 5" Ts f9 frac the differance this time was HUGE it brough down the CA by at least 50% and the resulting details on jupiter were staggering :shock:.

Hoping to put mine to good use tonight in my back garden - sky is clear >said in a whisper<.

It has to cope with a neighbours security light, two street-lights and a stack of Moonglow!
