Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)
I'm a novice astronomer and about 6 months ago purchased an Orion IntelliScope XT10 (great scope, see my review of it).I love looking at the moon but it's so excessively bright in this scope.I'm a big fan of Orion's products, and their service is the absolute best, so when looking to purchase a filter I decided to go for this one.It's only 2 pieces, very easy to assemble and attach to any 1.25" eyepiece.It's also great how you can vary the brightness from near maximum to very dark.Makes viewing the moon a WHOLE new experience.Brings out more detail and eliminates the eye pain.Once again, Orion has made a very satisfied customer out of me!

Product Description:
This versatile filter acts like a dimmer switch for your telescope, toning down the brightness of the Moon or planets to a level that is comfortable. The reduction in brightness and glare unmasks detail in your viewing subject and greatly improves contrast. The filter consists of two high-grade glass polarizing filters in a rotating cell that allows you to adjust the amount of light transmission from 1% to 40%. Such control is highly desirable for lunar observing because the Moon's brightness varies with its phase. The filter is great for terrestrial observing too, especially on sunny days. The filter has an anodized aluminum cell, which threads into the barrel of any standard eyepiece. Now available in 1.25" and 2" sizes. Storage case included.
