Svbony Moon Filter 6.25% ND16 1.25"
Tax included.
The Svbony neutral density moon filter is a standard accessory for lunar observing, which blocks 93.75% of the light passing through it, allowing 6.25% of the light to pass through to the eyepiece.
This is a high quality unit with plane polished optical glass surfaces, and a very even, neutral light transmission with no influence on colour of the image. It should not be confused with cheaper green filters.

Why use a moon filter? Telescopes (even the smallest ones) gather so much light, that the moon is sometimes just too bright for comfortable observing. Fine details like lunar seas get washed out in the glare. This premium quality filter removes excess glare from lunar images, bringing out finer detail. It's threaded to fit into the base of standard 1.25" barrel astronomy eyepieces. (M28x0.5 thread).
