2" Orion Variable Polarizing Eyepiece Filter Feature

  • A dimmer switch for your telescope! Helps to tone down brightness when viewing the Moon and planets to both optimize the view and reduce bright glare
  • Reduced brightness and glare unmasks detail in your viewing subject and greatly improves contrast
  • Adjust the amount of light transmission from 1% to 40% by rotating the eyepiece filter housing
  • The filter has an anodized aluminum cell, which threads into the barrel of any 2" Orion eyepiece
  • Foam-lined hard plastic filter storage case included
This versatile filter acts like a dimmer switch for your telescope, toning down the brightness of the Moon or planets to a level that is comfortable. The reduction in brightness and glare unmasks detail in your viewing subject and greatly improves contrast. The filter consists of two high-grade glass polarizing filters in a rotating cell that allows you to adjust the amount of light transmission from 1% to 40%. Such control is highly desirable for lunar observing because the Moon's brightness varies with its phase. The filter is great for terrestrial observing too, especially on sunny days. The filter has an anodized aluminum cell, which threads into the barrel of any standard 2" eyepiece. Storage case included.

Swarovski 20x60xs Eyepiece

Swarovski 20x60xs Eyepiece Reviews


Other Picture


Swarovski 20x60xs Eyepiece Feature

  • High-quality spotting scope eyepiece with 20-60x magnification range
  • Full 108-to-60-foot field of view at 1,000 yards even with eyeglasses
  • Individually adjustable twist-in eyecups are removable for cleaning
  • Produces luscious, diamond-bright images with edge-to-edge sharpness
  • Glass cover protects against dust and dirt; lifetime warranty
Compatible with ATM/STM, ATS/STS, and CTS spotting scopes, the Swarovski 20x60x eyepiece is ideal for all types of observations. The eyepiece--which offers a full 108-to-60-foot field of view at 1,000 yards--features individually adjustable twist-in eyecups that are removable for cleaning. As a result, the eyepiece works for both traditional users and eyeglass wearers. More significantly, the eyepiece produces luminous, diamond-bright images with edge-to-edge sharpness across the entire magnification range. It's the perfect eyepiece for sporting events, camping, and birdwatching, as it lets you both scan the terrain and identify birds in razor-sharp detail.

The eyepiece also features a glass cover that protects against dust and dirt even when the eyepiece is removed. Users will also love the bayonet connector, which makes it easy and quiet to change the eyepiece, and the automatic safety mechanism, which keeps you from accidentally unscrewing the unit. Finally, the lens includes a nonstick Swaroclean coating on the outer surface, which makes it considerably easier to clean objective and eyepiece lenses. The coating--which helps extend the lifespan of your lens--is particularly effective when you need to remove dried-on mineral residues (such as water marks from condensation), insect repellents, and tree resin.

About Swarovski Optik
Although founded in 1949, Swarovski Optik's roots actually trace all the way back to 1895, when Austrian Daniel Swarovski--who invented the world's first electric grinding machine for jewelry stones--established the family-owned Swarovski Crystal in the province of Tyrol. Since then, the name Swarovski has become synonymous worldwide with the clearest crystal, precision grinding, and a brilliant spirit of innovation, as the original enterprise continued branching out into additional lines of business.

Swarovski Optik owes its rise to Wilhelm Swarovski, son of the original founder and an avid hobby astronomer, who decided to build his own improved binocular in 1935 at a mere 17 years of age. With access to the specialized glass production and finishing technologies already used to manufacture jewelry stones in his father's factory, Wilhelm managed to develop a novel prism fabrication and grinding process that he applied in constructing his first 6x30 binocular. Wilhelm went on to found Swarovski Optik KG in Absam, Tyrol, in 1949, thus laying the foundation for a sports optics company with a global reputation. His company's first serial product, the Habicht 7x42, is still an industry standard in the field of hunting optics and continues to be produced in the best tradition of its founder.

The 20-60 eyepiece is versatile and functional while providing a superior optical performance. Identify objects at 20 power and then zoom up to 60 power for detailed observation. The 20-60 eyepiece provides a wide field of view and high quality images. The Quick-lock automatic mechanism secures the eyepiece in place and prevents accidental detachment from the scope body.

Meade Eyepiece Filter 12 Yellow 1.25

Meade Eyepiece Filter 12 Yellow 1.25 Reviews


Other Picture



Color filters are an essential tool of the lunar and planetary observer, for filters permit the observation and photography of surface detail that is often virtually invisible without filtration.

Filters solve, or greatly reduce, the effects of two basic observing problems: (a) Irradiation is the fuzzying of a boundary between lighter and darker areas of the Moon or a planetary surface and can be caused either by the effects of highly contrasting light impacting the human eye or by the motion of the Earth's atmosphere, through which the observation is being made. (b) Contrast is the separation of adjacent surface regions according to their color; for example, a light green area on Mars can become mixed in the eye with an adjacent light yellow area, to the effect that the combined area appears yellow-green, unseparated into its component regions.

The use of a Meade Series 4000 color filter can mean the difference between seeing small craterlets in the floor of Clavius on the Moon and not; it can mean the difference between seeing five or six whirls, festoons, and loops in Jupiter's north equatorial belt and seeing one or two; it can mean the difference between seeing the inner crepe ring of Saturn and not. Depending on atmospheric conditions on both the Earth and the planet being observed, the advantages of color filters can be anywhere from subtle to dramatic.Series 4000 filters thread into the barrels of virtually all 1.25" eyepiece brands.

Meade Series 4000 filters are a large 26mm in clear aperture and are manufactured from the purest crown optical glass, dyed-in-the-mass (not "color coated"); there are no finer filters available for telescopic applications. Each filter glass is anti-reflection coated on both sides and is mounted in a machined aluminum cell with the Wratten No. of the filter marked on the side of the cell. Filters may be piggybacked, or stacked, to achieve selective filtration of
