      5.0 Best Moon Filter I have Used.

      Pros:

      Cons:

      Comments:

      The combination of a density increase and filtering out both red and blue light is working the best for me. The density increase is cutting out the extra light that tends to blind me, when the Moon is more than half full. Cutting out some of the red and blue light removes some of the refracting issues with the scope I am using and the green tint is a pleasing and calming color for me.

      I like the little notches around the edge of the filter. It helps me tell the difference between that filter and some others I carry in the same square plastic box, and it helps get a grip on the filter for taking it out of an eyepiece.

      I buy these to give as gifts as well as using one myself.

      4.0 GSO Moon Filter

      Pros:

      Great filter at low price

      Cons:

      None

      Comments:

      These are very good filters for the price. They filter out some of the very bright moon light, especially at full moon, and provide a view with much better contrast. It is very well built. I have used my GSO Moon filter on GSO's Superview 15 and 20mm eyepieces, and usually on one of my TMB planetary eyepieces. If you have the chance to get one, buy it
