  • Celestron's astronomical eyepiece filters are a great way to enhance your telescope viewing experience. Filters are able to: reduce light scatter and pollution, improve contrast, and reveal subtle details. Visual filters should be an essential part of everyone's observing kit.

    THANK YOU...... I just bought my first telescope and trying to learn as much as possible, your video is the ONLY one I found on "how to install color filter lens".

    Great info celestron, thanks for sharing. I started my astro adventures with a celestron 102slt and altaz computerised mount and moved on to the avx EQ mount for deep sky. I love the ease of use and high quality products, thanks celestron!

    I find that my filters, which are the same as in the video, make the image really dim as a lot of the light is blocked out, meaning the observations aren't very good and I end up not using the filters at all. Any suggestions on fixing this?

    • @imagineaworld
      @imagineaworld 4 ปีที่แล้ว +2

      I think this is a limitation of your Apperature size (size of the front opening) some filter companies will tell you how much light they actually eliminate, may look into a filter of the same color, with a lower light elimination level (say from 12% to 7%?)

      What is the aperture diameter of your scope?
      You might like a variable ND filter, which transmits from 1% up to 40% of visible light.

    My lens that came with my Celestron 114AZ do not have threads on them, a Celestron PL 26mm. How am I supposed to put the lens filter on as I need a Moon filter as it's too bright to look at.

    • @CelestronDotCom
      @CelestronDotCom  2 ปีที่แล้ว

      The threads are on the silver barrel of the eyepiece. The filter goes onto the eyepiece, then the eyepiece is inserted into the scope. I'll bet $5.00 that he's looking for threads on the eyecup side of the eyepiece.

    If the color filters are recommended for 8-inch telescopes..then why bother including them in accessoiry kits aimed for the Astromaster series which are 5-inch telescopes.

    • @CelestronDotCom
      @CelestronDotCom  4 ปีที่แล้ว +5

      Filters work on telescope of all apertures. We only recommend the use of 8" of aperture or more if you intend to stack filters, not use them individually.

    • @imagineaworld
      @imagineaworld 4 ปีที่แล้ว +1

      Yes aperture is irrelevant, 1.25 inch eyepiece is the only restriction to being able to use these light filters

      At least 8" apertures are suggested for at least TWO filters stacked together.

    I bought the oxygen 3 filter and honestly It makes my views worse. At least they were telling the truth when they said it darkness the object. But it darkens it too much and it makes it look worse. I tried it on the dumbbell and you couldn't see anything and when it's off you can see it better. Is mine defective or am I not using it on the right object?

      Nebulae filters will enhance the fuzziness of the nebula, but will never show the vivid colors they show in images. The human eye is not sensitive enough for this.
