- Filter Type: UHC (Ultra High Contrast) Filter
- Filter Type: Lunar & Starglow Filter
- Filter Type: 13% Transmission Lunar Filter
- Filter Size: 1.25 inches
Key Features
【5 Planetary Color Filters】 5 planetary filters in red, orange, yellow, green, and blue reveal details, emphasize features, and sharpen the contrast of Mercury, Mars, Venus, Jupiter, Saturn, Moon, and other celestial objects
【Variable Polarizing Filters】 Two rotating variable polarizing filters change light transmission from 40% to 1%. They reduce reflection and glare, darken the sky background, and boost visual contrasts to make planets and stars stand out. No chromatic aberration.
【Combine to Get a Variable ND Filter】Stacking two polarizing filters together will give you a variable ND2-2000 ND filter, which can be used freely on the telescope without affecting the focal length at all, helping you to capture more brilliant star rivers. Note: The thinner polarizing filter needs to be mounted underneath the ringed polarizing filter.
【UHC Filter & Lunar Filters】 UHC (Ultra High Contrast) filter minimizes manmade light pollution like streetlights for sharp nebular viewing in urban and rural areas. The 13% transmission lunar filter allows only 13% light transmission to boost contrast and emphasize lunar features like craters, mountains, and valleys. The lunar & starglow filter can block unwanted 589nm wavelengths of light, and improve observation of the night sky in urban and rural areas.
【10PCS Telescope Filter Set】 This telescope eyepiece filter set includes 5 x Planetary Color Filter, 2 x Variable Polarizing Filter, 1 x UHC Filter, 1 x Lunar & Starglow Filter, and 1 x 13% Transmission Lunar Filter to enhance astronomical observation & photography

Pros & Cons
👍 Pros
- Includes 5 planetary color filters specifically designed to reveal details on celestial objects.
- Two variable polarizing filters reduce reflection and glare while enhancing planetary and stellar contrast.
- The variable polarizing filters can be stacked to create a variable ND2-2000 filter without affecting focal length.
- Features a UHC filter to minimize manmade light pollution for clearer nebular viewing.
- A 13% transmission lunar filter boosts contrast and emphasizes lunar features like craters and mountains.
- The comprehensive 10-piece set offers versatile tools for both astronomical observation and photography.
👎 Cons
- The note regarding stacking polarizing filters for ND function requires careful assembly to work correctly.
- The 13% transmission lunar filter is quite dark and primarily suited for lunar observations.
- The effectiveness of the UHC filter in blocking light pollution can depend on the severity of the light pollution itself.
- This set is specifically for 1.25" telescope eyepieces, limiting its use with other equipment.
- The variable polarizing filters change light transmission from 40% to 1%, which is not a full blackout for very bright objects.
Frequently Asked Questions
What specific celestial objects are the planetary color filters designed for?
The 5 planetary color filters are designed to reveal details and sharpen contrast for Mercury, Mars, Venus, Jupiter, Saturn, the Moon, and other celestial objects.
Can the variable polarizing filters be used together to create a different effect?
Yes, stacking the two variable polarizing filters together will create a variable ND2-2000 ND filter, suitable for use on telescopes without affecting focal length.
What is the purpose of the UHC (Ultra High Contrast) filter?
The UHC filter is designed to minimize manmade light pollution, such as streetlights, to enhance the sharpness of nebular viewing in both urban and rural environments.
How much light does the 13% transmission lunar filter allow through?
The 13% transmission lunar filter allows only 13% of light to pass through, which helps to boost contrast and emphasize lunar features.
Do these filters fit all telescope eyepieces?
This telescope eyepiece filter set is specifically designed for 1.25" thread size eyepieces.
How do the variable polarizing filters work to improve observation?
The two rotating variable polarizing filters change light transmission from 40% to 1%, reducing reflection and glare while darkening the sky background and boosting visual contrasts.
