Enhance your astronomical viewing experience with the Celestron Neutral Density Filter, designed for 1.25" eyepieces. This filter effectively reduces brightness and minimizes glare, significantly improving the clarity of celestial objects like the Moon, Venus, and bright double stars. It allows only 13% of the incoming light to pass through, reducing the overall light transmission by 87%. This feature makes it much more comfortable to observe these bright objects without losing their details.

The Moon, being one of the most popular celestial bodies to observe, can often appear too bright through a telescope. The Celestron Neutral Density Moon Filter addresses this issue by dimming the light, making the Moon's features more distinct and enjoyable to view. Unlike typical color filters, this neutral density filter evenly affects all colors of the visible spectrum. It darkens the image without altering the natural colors, providing a true color representation of the Moon and other celestial bodies.

While some moon filters use a #58 Green filter, which can effectively reduce glare, they also impart an unnatural green tint to the Moon's surface. In contrast, the Celestron Neutral Density Moon filter ensures that the image retains its original colors.

This filter is also an excellent tool for enhancing the visibility of bright planets like Venus or Jupiter and for observing closely positioned double stars. It increases contrast by cutting down on glare, making these objects easier to study and appreciate. The filter itself is made of glass and set in an aluminum cell. It's designed to attach seamlessly to any 1.25” eyepiece and features threading on both sides, allowing for stacking with color filters to further customize your viewing experience.
