The Omegon #80A blue color filter in 1.25 inch format is a versatile filter commonly used for planetary observations. On Jupiter and Saturn, this filter increases the contrast of cloud bands and storm regions, allowing you to see more structure. For Mars, the filter helps to better reveal polar caps and hazy structures. It can also be used for lunar observation to enhance bright details in the terminator zone.
The filter glass is fully colored and mounted in an anodized aluminum cell. This cell has a slim profile allowing the filter to be used seamlessly in filter wheels and star diagonals. The double filter thread makes it possible to combine multiple filters. The filter comes in a sturdy plastic storage case.
