5.0 out of 5 stars Useful to enhance your planetary views!, November 27, 2000

This review is from: Meade 3200 Color Filter Set (Electronics)

This color filter set is an excellent buy if you want to enhance visual details and increase observable contrast of the moon and the planets. For less than forty dollars (US$ 40.oo) you will get a set of four filters that will tread into the barrels of any eyepiece with a 1.25" outside barrel diameter (O.D.) including all Meade 1.25" (inches) O.D. eyepieces. Although the package says that the filters are for use with the Meade ETX 60AT and ETX 70-AT telescopes I have used them in a small 4 1/2 inches Tasco Reflector and also with my ten inches Meade Dobsonian to enjoy beautiful views of Jupiter, Saturn and the Moon. The filters are light yellow, light red, light blue and neutral density. The first three are useful to enhance the belts of Jupiter, the rings of Saturn and the surface of Mars while the neutral density filter is of great help in order to reduce the glare that sometimes plagues lunar observation. The filters are individually packed in a plastic case for convenient storage and transportation. A great buy!

This review is from: Meade 3200 Color Filter Set (Electronics)

These Meade Color Filters are very highy quality and greatly aid in improving contrast when viewing planets and the Moon. The set includes light yellow, very light red, very light blue, and a neutral density filter (useful for bright objects like the moon).

We us these on our Meade ETX60AT Telescope (Obsolete), and have been very happy with the results.

Highly recommeded!
