Sometimes the Moon is just too bright to comfortably view. That overpowering brightness that occurs when the Moon is at its larger phases washes out surface detail and limits how long you can look into the eyepiece without your eyes bugging out! Enter the Meade Series 4000 1.25" Variable Polarizing Filter. This purpose-built Moon filter allows you to easily decrease the image brightness for more comfortable, relaxing, and revealing Moon-gazing.

This filter system comprises two polarizing filters mounted in a special cell with finger adjustable slide control for varying the light transmission from 5% to 25%. Just how much you may want to dim the brightness will depend on the phase of the Moon, on your telescope's aperture, and on the magnification you're using.

This accessory is made of machined and anodized aluminum and fits in any 1.25" focuser or diagonal; it accepts 1.25" eyepiece barrels. Unlike most variable polarizing filters, which you must thread onto the barrel of each eyepiece you use, the Series 4000 polarizer lets you swap out eyepieces quickly and get the polarizing effect with each one, since the filter does not thread onto the eyepiece itself. That saves a lot of hassle!

Get the Meade Series 4000 1.25" Variable Polarizing Filter and get more enjoyment out of observing Earth's nearest satellite.
