Baader Planetarium Neodymium Moon & Skyglow Filter

The Neodymium-doped glass selectively filters out specific wavelengths associated with artificial light pollution and skyglow. By cutting these out, it increases the color contrast of planetary features and lunar details, making subtle surface markings appear more distinct against the background.

Yes, it includes integrated UV/IR blocking coatings. These layers help suppress the 'purple fringing' or chromatic aberration often seen around bright objects when using refracting telescopes, resulting in a sharper, more color-accurate image.

It is excellent for both. The combination of high-contrast filtering and UV/IR blocking makes it a versatile tool for planetary imaging, helping to sharpen details while keeping colors natural.

Baader uses a hard, ion-beam-deposited coating process. This makes the surface significantly more scratch-resistant than standard coatings, meaning it can withstand frequent cleaning without degrading the optical quality.

Yes, this filter is designed with a standard 2-inch barrel diameter, making it compatible with most 2-inch telescope eyepieces and accessories.

Not at all. The substrate is polished to be optically flat, which ensures that the light path remains undistorted even when you are pushing your telescope to its limits with high-magnification eyepieces.
