Digital camera reviews of 1.25" Orion 13% Transmission Moon Filter

Digital camera Review: A MUST if you want to look at the moon!
Summary: 5 Stars

Even in my light polluted area, looking at the crescent moon in my 8" dobs is almost painful on the eyes. I can only imagine that a full moon would be downright unbearable to view.

The filter screws in very quickly after removing it from its handy hard case. Once in place, the moon is a heck of a lot easier to look at. Also, when you are done looking, its a lot easier and quicker to adjust back to the night time darkness. I found that after looking at the moon without a filter, I couldn't see a thing outside in the night for about 30 seconds. This filter certainly helps with that.

Summary of 1.25" Orion 13% Transmission Moon Filter

The Moon's disk, even at partial phases, is intensely bright with reflected sunlight. The glare washes out most of the craters, rilles, and other surface details from view. Our 1.25" Orion 13% Transmission Moon Filter reduces the glare, allowing transmission of only 13% of the reflected light. Not only will you see more surface features, but you can study them in greater comfort. The filter reduces irradiation, which is the distortion at the boundary between light and dark areas, such as along the lunar terminator. The Orion Moon Filter is especially useful to owners of large-aperture scopes, in which the Moon's brightness can be overwhelming. It uniformly reduces light over the entire visible spectrum. Screws into threaded eyepiece barrel.
