Celestron Moon Filter for Telescopes – Fits Most 1.25" Eyepieces

Excelente producto

Now this is a story all about how My eyesight got flipped, turned upside down And I'd like to take a minute, just sit right there I'll tell you how I bought a scope without a prayer In the west side of my yard, born and raised On the porch is where I spent most of my days Chillin' out, maxin', relaxin' all cool Pointed at the moon like a total fool The glow was up, and it burned my whole sight I said "man, this can't be, something ain't right" My eyeball got sore, my patience was thin I said "nobody warned me the moon's this bright, my friend" I ordered one filter and my scope got glazed Said "hmm, this might be worth the days I waited" I looked at my eyepiece, said "finally, my dude, Twenty minutes of moon-gazin', no more attitude" Threaded it on nice, twisted it with care Craters and shadows, detail everywhere I thought "nah, forget it, glad I found this instead" So I fixed the glow up, then I went to bed Well, the moon-view is all sharp, and that's the way it should be I looked at my kingdom, I was finally free I pulled up my chair, told the scope "go ahead" And I stared at the moon in my eyepiece instead

It does the job reducing reflective bright light from our moon.

You can tell a pretty large difference between the amount of light reaching your eye using this piece. The full moon is still to bright to edge in all those details but it will take away some eye strain. As far as using it for photography, you will have to adjust coloring to get out the green tint. If you use lightroom, adjusting the temp to -5 and the hue to 5 will give you a kind of natural bluish tint. As I stated before the full moon is still a light pollution monster so your camera may do it better justice adjusting the ISO or frame speed. Maybe ISO 80 and 1/125 fs. But if you're looking at a Waning Gibbous this filter will help manage the ambiance so you can see those craters hiding off to the edge in the shadows. Pretty good for it's price. It also fits in both my celestron eye pieces and pylossl which is nice. Can switch between my newtonian reflector and celestron refractor without to much eyepiece play. I don't recommend for stargazing or looking for planets unless you're using a high power piece

This was recommended as a good beginner attachment for my son’s telescope. I got it for him as a Christmas present, and he loves it! It definitely makes the moon clearer and easier to see than before.

It does what it promises.

Received quickly and item was as described.

I haven't even tested this product out with the upcoming "supermoon" on Aug. 31 2023, but I was disappointed from the "git-go" upon opening. Didn't even come with a small plastic case that might have added $0.25 to the total cost of the product. It came in a small cardboard box, wrapped in tissue paper and a tiny zip-seal bag. Disappointed by the cheapness of the manufacturer
