Celestron 94119-A 1.25 inch Moon Filter - Suitable for Lunar Observation, Extra Bright Planets or Terrestrial Viewing over Sand or Snow, Black

Quality moon filter. Some complain that it comes in just a plastic sleeve but my old one came in a jewel box that was thrown away the next day!Can not understand the threading problems some report as I've threaded this onto the eyepiece (the REAR end -not the bit you look in) and a dozen times it screws in and out perfectly - never over tighten any filter.Nice on Jupiter too and allows you to see some banding that would otherwise be lost in glare.High end filters of all kinds can be bought for this hobby costing 100's of £ but for casual use and beginners this is a good cheap buy that does a decent job.

First time using the filter to view the moon it really reduced the glare.The photo doesn’t do it justice as it was taken on my camera phone looking through the telescope lens.

Does the job well

Okay, it does give some sort fauls greenish colour - so it is not a netrul color. But it is okay for what I needed, I only use it for the Moon, not good for planetary or deep sky objects.

Great product

Bought for my telescope as I've have recently bought one, after many advice videos a moon filter is needed so not to be blinded when viewing the moon. This is a good quality filter and will be a great item for any astronomers kit

This is a good filter for its price. You're not paying that much, and it does reduce the brightness of objects, whilst also improving contrast. It also fits in well to my Celestron 1.25" lens. As a beginner, i didn't want something too expense as i didn't know if i would needed. I would HIGHLY recommend buying a filter, the glare of the moon (the first thing most beginners will look for as it's easy to spot) is far too bright to be able to look at for long periods of time. However if you are a beginner and want a cheap filter i'd get this one instead "Light Blue 1.25" Telescope Filter - (73% transmission)" Type it into amazon and it'll come up. Not only does this fit my lens equally as well, but it's got a wider aperture and better transition. Not only this but it is better for looking at other objects such as the planets and doesn't give an unpleasant green tinge, but instead a more subtle pale blue tinge. Plus it's only a few extra pounds which are well worth paying. If you're serious about astronomy, and have spent in excess of £500 on a telescope, i'd say don't cheap out on a filter, it's worth paying the extra as there's no point spending all that money on a brilliant telescope to have the image ruined by a poor filter.

Well it gives the moon contrast.
