Orion Moon Filters


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. The Orion Moon Filter reduces the glare, allowing transmission of only 13% or 25% of the available light, depending upon the model chosen. 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. Moon filters screw into threaded eyepiece barrel. We recommend the 25% transmission filter for telescopes up to 5 inches in aperture. The 13% filter is recommended for telescopes with apertures of five inches or larger.
