Variable polarizing filters are made up of two high-grade glass individual filters. The variable darkening effect is produced by rotating the lower filter relative to the upper one. And it reduces glare without significantly altering the objects’ colour for improved perception of detail and for better viewing comfort.
This variable polarizing filter has a Aluminium material mount, which is sturdy and durable.
It helps you to adjust the brightness effectively. The variable polarizing filter allows for selective adjustment of brightness, which is useful for terrestrial observation.
These filters have a very large range of effectiveness. Light transmission of polarizing filters is between 1% and 40%. Such adjustable control is highly desirable for lunar observing as the Moon's brightness varies with its phase and also with the aperture and magnification of the telescope you are using. It is also a must for viewing the Moon in daylight hours.
Fit all 2" eyepieces with the standard filter thread.
Astromania 2" Variable Polarizing Filter This variable polarizing filter acts like a dimmer switch for your telescope, toning down the brightness of the Moon or planets to a comfortable level and revealing more surface details. This is particularly noticeable when observing: - Moon craters which are close to the lunar terminator - Details on planets Irradiation from brighter regions prevents you from distinguishing fine details. Variable polarizing filters allow you to selectively adjust the level of darkening. Capacity: Connection(to the telescope): 2" Type: Polarizing filter Mount material: Aluminium Color: neutral grey Transmission: 1(variable from 1% to 40%) Frame: 2"
