Product Description
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.

A Must Have,
This review is from: 1.25" Orion 13% Transmission Moon Filter (Electronics)
I can keep this short. The Moon Filter is a must have for viewing of the moon through a telescope. Viewing a full moon without the filter is similiar to staring directly at a bright flashlight. But with the filter you readily see the craters, mountains, and other features. It is definitely money well spent.

An excellent filter for beginniners!,
A Kid's Review
This review is from: 1.25" Orion 13% Transmission Moon Filter (Electronics)
This moon filter is a great way to explore the moon for beginniners! This filter can reduce the glare of the bright moon so you can explore the moon easily. But for experts I would recommend to get a Orion Poliarzing Filter (...). This is because somtimes the moon is too dark. With a poliarzing filter, you can adjust the filter from 1-40%. For beginniners, I would strongly recommened this filter, but for experts, I would get a Poliarzing filter.

Does exactly what you expect it to do,

This review is from: 1.25" Orion 13% Transmission Moon Filter (Electronics)
If you've dealt with Orion in the past, you expect quality optics, that are functional without being terribly overpriced. Such is the case with their moon filter as well.
You don't need this filter on smaller phases of the moon, but as the moon approaches full, and gets increasingly brighter, adding this filter will greatly enhance the views by taking the edge off the glare so the details are clearer.
