Moon filters

[Guest]

I have come to the conclusion that while it may seem to be an obvious product, no one offers moon filters for binoculars, at least not for my 20x80 Orion binos.  So has anyone made a pair using mylar film?  If so how are they working out for you?

Hi Mike, check this thread out:

It's not mylar film, but Darren Hennig was in touch with me when I asked him about filters for Bino's.

Hope it might help.

Huh… why? I’ve never felt the need for one even when using a 16” with a low power view. Bright views give the best contrast. You could easily buy some cheap 1.25” filters and fit them to the eyepieces (use a foam ring to snug them in).

The scope is no problem, like you I use filters, but I am looking for filters for my binoculars

Use 1.25” ones and some foam rings so they fit the binocular eyepieces… I do this with nebula filters just fine.
