Zhumell Lunar and Planetary Filter Set

Product Details

Enhance astronomical viewing with the Zhumell Lunar and Planetary color filter set!

The Zhumell Lunar and Planetary color filter set includes #21 Orange, #12 Yellow, #80A Blue and ND96-0.6 filters. These filters can be used individually or together to bring out detail in the images you see through your telescope. Why should you use filters? Here are just a few of the uses of the filters in this kit:

• #12 Yellow - 74%VLT: Yellow filters help greatly in viewing Mars by bringing out the polar ice-caps, enhancing blue clouds in the atmosphere, increasing contrast, and brightening desert regions. Yellow also enhances red and orange features on  Jupiter and Saturn and darkens the blue festoons near Jupiter's equator.
• #21 Orange - 46%VLT: An orange filter helps increase contrast between light and dark areas, penetrates clouds, and assists in detecting dust storms on Mars. Orange also helps bring out the Great Red Spot and sharpen contrast on Jupiter.
• #80A Blue - 30%VLT: A blue filter provides detail in atmospheric clouds on Mars, increases contrast on the moon, brings out detail in belts and polar features on Saturn, enhances contrast of Jupiter's bright areas and cloud boundaries. A blue filter is also useful in helping to split the binary star Antares when at maximum separation.
• ND96-0.6 - Neutral Density: Neutral density filters allow all wavelengths to pass through equally. The effect of a neutral density filter is to reduce the overall brightness of an image. Neutral density filters are useful for splitting binary systems and reducing glare.
• Zhumell filters will fit any standard 1.25" format telescope eyepiece.
