Omegon Moon filter 2″ - 25% light transmission
The Moon is undoubtedly the most popular target for both beginner and experienced amateur astronomers. Yet a full Moon viewed through a telescope can be surprisingly dazzling - so much so that surface details blur together and eyes tire quickly. This is exactly why the Omegon Moon filter 2″ with 25% light transmission exists: a simple, effective solution to one of the most common challenges in visual lunar observation.
How it works
The principle is straightforward and well-proven. The filter reduces the amount of incoming light to 25% of its original intensity, significantly lowering the brightness of the lunar disk. The result is a more comfortable and higher-contrast image - craters, mountain ridges, lava plains (maria) and fine radial rilles all stand out with greater clarity. Eye fatigue is greatly reduced, allowing for longer and more rewarding observing sessions.
Please note: this filter is designed exclusively for visual observation. For astrophotography, other solutions are typically more appropriate.
Build quality and compatibility
The filter is mounted in a robust aluminium threaded cell with a standard 2″ diameter. It screws directly into a 2″ focuser or into the threaded barrel of a compatible 2″ eyepiece in seconds, holding securely in place during use. The Omegon Basic series is designed to deliver reliable, affordable performance for everyday visual work - without unnecessary compromises in optical glass quality.
Who is this filter for?
This filter is ideal for anyone who owns a telescope with a 2″ focuser and enjoys observing the Moon:
- Beginners taking their first steps under the night sky who want a more comfortable viewing experience
- Experienced observers looking for a reliable filter for detailed visual study of the lunar surface
- Anyone who wants a compact, lightweight accessory that travels easily in any equipment bag
