Blue color filter 2 inch - Omegon #80A

This 2-inch blue color filter from Omegon is a popular tool for seeing more detail while observing the major planets. The filter increases contrast in cloud bands and storm areas on Jupiter, makes structures in Saturn's atmosphere more visible, and helps to better distinguish polar caps and dust structures on Mars. On the moon, this filter enhances details along the terminator, where light and shadow meet.

The glass is fully tinted and mounted in a sturdy anodized aluminum mount only 5 mm thick. Thanks to this thin design, the filter can also be easily used in filter wheels and zenith mirrors. The double filter thread makes it possible to combine multiple filters. The filter comes in a sturdy storage box for protection.
