Orion Starter Set Of Four 1.25" Filters Product Info

Color eyepiece filters enhance subtle details on the planets, comets, and the Moon by selectively increasing the contrast between markings of different hues. This affordable 1.25" Orion Basic Set of Four Color Filters includes our most popular color planetary telescope eyepiece filters: #15 Deep Yellow, #25 Red, #58 Green, and #80A Medium Blue. These filters are vat-dyed for even color coating and then anti-reflection coated for maximum transmission.
