Cheap and gets the job done very well. Would recommend to others looking for this size filter. Images come through clearly and there is nothing to suggest you have a filter on the lens. Clear as day.

They say the best time to look at the moon is when it is a quarter to half. I looked at the moon when it was recently full. It definitely took the direct glare off allowing me to see many features for a longer period of time. Also, the craters around the edges were clear and full of shadowy contrast.

This inexpensive moon filter makes looking at the moon a much more enjoyable experience. Consider it "sun glasses" for your telescope. It reduces glare, increases contrast, and makes moon viewing much easier on your eyes, especially a full moon at higher magnification. Light transmission is about 18%.

This moon filter was inexpensive so I wasn't expecting much. If I were to do it over again I think I would have spent a little more for a better one. Main issue is the body is plastic and the threads were creased from the factory. It still works OK but I don't think it will last long.

This was the cheapest moon filter I found on the Internet. The only reasons I knocked off a star are that it has a greenish tint (I don't mind, but some do), the plastic threading feels kind of cheap, and it comes in a little bag instead of a tiny case like my color filters (I'm a little paranoid I'll touch the glass trying to get it out of the bag). None of these are deal-breakers, or even a big deal to me. Once on the eyepiece, it has no noticeable affect on image quality (other than, you know, dimmer and a little greener). It also worked fine on Jupiter.

Looking at the full moon with a telescope you realize how bright it is. The Celestron moon filter cuts down the glare to help you see more highlights of the moon.

Although I purchased this item as a gift for my son, I had an opportunity to use it and I must say it does all it is supposed to. You cannot ask for more from any product.

My family and I really enjoyed using this moon filter it made looking at the moon a fun experience especially for the kids. This is a great product which I highly recommend.

Good product. Even used it to see Jupiter ( dont have a planet filter ). Could see faint lines, 4 moons quite well. Recommended
