Red color filter 2 inch - Omegon #25
This red 2-inch color filter from Omegon is ideal for those who want to see subtle details on Mars and other planets. By filtering shorter wavelengths, the image becomes more contrasty and structures that are normally lost become more apparent. This filter is particularly effective for observing Mars: polar caps, dust storms and dark structures on the surface stand out.
For Jupiter and Saturn, this filter can also help to enhance shadows and atmospheric details. In addition, it attenuates the brightest moonlight, making fine details in craters more visible.

The mount is of sturdy anodized aluminum with a thin profile of only 5 mm, making it easy to use the filter in a zenith mirror or filter wheel. The filter glass is completely homogeneous and double-threaded, making it easy to combine with other filters. Supplied in a sturdy protective box for safe transport and storage.
