Your cart is empty.The Baader Planetarium Moon & Skyglow (Neodymium) filter brings an entirely unique approach to contrast enhancement and light pollution reduction. Based on earlier research at Carl Zeiss Baader has developed a new filter that uses Neodymium glass which filters out a few specific wavelengths from streetlights as well as skyglow from the Moon. The unique spectral characteristics of Neodymium also boost color contrasts by isolating the Red Green and Blue regions (so-called RGB enhancement). The result is a filter that leaves natural colors intact but enhanced.Lunar and Planetary views are improved in all scopes reflectors refractors (APO or Achro). Jupiter's Great Red Spot and ruddy hues of the bands are noticeably enhanced. The Background sky is darkened and subtle details improved. The filter's high efficiency preserves image brightness and many Galaxies Nebulae and Globular Star Clusters are improved due to the reduction of skyglow from artificial lighting.The high quality of Baader Planetarium filters permits stacking with no image degradation. Achromat owners will find the combination of Moon & Skyglow and the new Fringe Killer filter to be ideal for planetary viewing. The high light throughput and natural coloration will make achromats perform more like an apochromat.The filter substrate is a special custom melt of Neodymium doped glass designed for specific transmission characteristics and made only for Baader Planetarium. In addition to it's unique spectral characteristics the Baader Moon & Skyglow filter delivers the best possible image sharpness contrast and real-world durability.

Quality product. One you will not be replacing. The best of the best.

I usually believe that you get what you pay for. That really did not work in this case. It seems like a quality product, the threads seem to be made of a very tough material and work great. The clarity looks very good, but I am very disappointed in the contrast, there just does not seem to be much! After comparing this filter to some others I am upgrading my review from 2 stars to 4 stars.

I like this filter, especially for lunar observations. Great service and speedy shipping.

Expected a more noticeable impact with my views of the moon, Venus, Jupiter, Saturn. Experience and enjoyment of using the filter does not match the high expense.

You might think there is no such thing a galaxy filter. Think again this one works for seeing bright galaxies from urban locations. M31 was not visible from my yard. With it it popped right out. This filter also greatly helped visual detail on Jupiter and Mars. Well worth the cost. A must have for an urban observer.

Lo compré para disminuir la contaminación lumínica para observaciones desde la ciudad. No se aprecian diferencias sustanciales para observaciones de cielo nocturno.

L'ho usato con gran profitto poche sere fa su Giove e sono pienamente soddisfatto (come da foto allegata)! :)Non mi è servito sistemare il bilanciamento RGB ed è una cosa molto positiva che non avevo mai trovato su alcun filtro planetario.Costa di più rispetto ad altri filtri simili ma ne vale la pena!

El filtro funciona bien. Contrasta bien la superficie de los objetos planetarios y oscurece el cielo en cierta medida. Ni más ni menos lo que dice que hace. Desde luego, la posesión del filtro no hará que nuestro telescopio sea otro, pero ayuda en la medida de su capacidad. En cuanto acabados, debo decir que las roscas funcionan perfectamente. Yo estoy contento.

Ich habe mir das Filter bestellt um auch aus der Stadt heraus Astrofotografie betreiben zu können. Der Versand erfolgte wie immer sehr schnell. Die Verarbeitung ist sehr wertig und das Gewinde sieht sehr sauber aus. Eine steigerung der Beobachtungsqualität war sofort bemerkbar. Bin gespannt wie es sich in der Fotografie schlägt. Ergebnisse werde ich dann nochmal posten.

I may have been expecting unrealistically high levels of filtering - blocking streetlights entirely - but it works quite well at darkening skies for both visual and imaging applications. Not perfectly black but less of a peachy tone. While the air has been too turbulent to get really stable images, I haven't been able to attribute any reduction in image quality to this filter.

My husband had about everything he needs for his stargazing hobby but this product. He was happy when I got it for him. He said it fits and works great.

I was doubtful about this filter--having been disappointed more often than pleased with filters--but this one is exceptional. My back yard has two high pressure sodium street lamps flooding it and I rarely see anything other than the moon, but with this filter I can see stars. I even aimed my scope at a street lamp and saw virtually no light. This is well worth the cost.
