Product Description

The adjustable way to reduce glare when observing the moon. Includes two polarizer filters mounted in a special cell that accepts 1.25-Inch eyepieces. Allows you to vary light transmission from 5% to 25% so you can adjust the filter’s brightness to match the brightness of the moon during different phases. Variable brightness is also useful when you change magnification or observe through telescopes of various apertures.

5.0 out of 5 stars Must have for moon viewing, February 13, 2011

This review is from: Meade #905 1.25-Inch Variable Polarizing Filter (Electronics)

This eyepiece filter is ideal for moon viewing. It works very well with a Celestron 93230 8 to 24mm 1.25 Zoom Eyepiece. The polarizing filter can be tightened in the eyepiece holder and then the eyepiece tightened in the filter. This allows twisting the eyepiece to zoom and sliding the lever to adjust the brightness.

A basic moon filter cuts down on the intensity but require extra effort to attach and detach it. The Orion 1.25" Variable Polarizing Filter for Telescope Eyepieces is popular but also requires additional steps to attach and detach it. The Meade filter is much quicker to install and remove. It also works for terrestrial viewing: reducing glare and reducing overly bright scenes.
