Product Details :
With this set we offer you our complete Hirsch color filter product line. This set will ensure that you are prepared to take advantage of any celestrial viewing observation. Hirsch filters are made of glass and not vat dyed like many other color filters. The color is in the glass itself. This is crucial in bringing out the distinct features in your celestrial observations. You can be assured you will get the most out of Jupiters Great Red Spot, The Rings of Saturn or the craters on the moon with Hirsch quality color filters.

Additional Information:
#80A-blue (30% transmission) - #80A Blue This filter is the best and most popular for the study of detail on Jupiter and Saturn. It enhances the contrast of rills and festoons in Jupiter's cloud belts, as well as details of the Great Red Spot. It also brings out detail in Saturn's belts and polar features. This filter is also very useful for lunar observing. Try this filter to split Antares. It works very well for this purpose, especially when the two stars are at their maximum separation.

#47 H Violet (18% transmission) This filter strongly rejects red, yellow, and green wavelengths, making it a good one to use on the Martian polar ice caps. It is the filter of choice for observations of Venus because of its low light transmission and its ability to enhance upper atmosphere phenomena.

#58-Green (24% transmission) #58 Green This filter strongly rejects red and blue wavelengths and increases their contrast on the lighter parts of the surface of Jupiter. It is also useful for enhancing the cloud belts and polar regions on Saturn. It does a fantastic job on increasing the contrast in Mars polar ice caps and also does a reasonable job of increasing the contrast of atmospheric features on Venus.

15% Moon Filter Moon Filter is a precision neutral density filters that spreads the Lunar intensity uniformly over the visual spectrum. When the Moon is full or nearly full, it?s disk appears blindingly bright with reflected sunlight. The glare washes out most of the craters, rills and other surface details. Moon filter reduces glare and intensity, allowing you to study Lunar features in greater detail and comfort, and without spoiling your night vision

Moon Filter 30% Moon filter's not only are useful while viewing the moon, but can be very helpful while viewing the planets. Using neutral density moon filters helps cuts down the glare and allows more fine detail of the planets to be seen. Can be very useful on viewing Jupiter, Saturn and mars, depending on the conditions, detail on, Jupiter and Mars, are very bright when they are in the best viewing positions.

#82B Light Blue (73% transmission) It works well on Jupiter, Mars, Saturn and the moon. Its pale blue color enhances areas of low contrast and avoids significant reduction of overall light level at the same time. Try this one on bright galaxies, particularly face-on spirals. On M51. The detail in the spiral arms was quite pronounced. It has been tried on a number of bright galaxies and it really does a great job in increasing the detail in galactic structure. Also, try this one to split Antares.

#21-Orange (46% transmission) #21 Orange The #21 orange reduces transmission of blue and green wavelengths, thus increasing the contrast between these areas and red or yellow or orange areas. It is great on Mars because of this. It sharpens the boundaries between these areas on the planet's surface. I also use it on Jupiter to sharpen the contrast in the belts and to bring out the Great Red Spot. It will also slightly increase surface details on Saturn

#23A Light Red (25% transmission) This is another great filter for use on Mars, Jupiter, and Saturn, It performs many of the same functions as the #21 , but again, with more contrast than do either of these. It is also a great one to try for daylight observations of Mercury and Venus because it increases the contrast between these planets and the bright blue sky.

#12A Light Yellow (74% transmission) 74% transmission) Enhances red and orange features on Jupiter and Saturn, while blocking blue and green wavelengths. It also lightens the red and orange features on Mars, while reducing, or blocking, the transmission of blue and green areas; this increases the contrast between the two. It also enhances the blue clouds in the Martian atmosphere. Very nice for increasing contrast in lunar features also.

#25A-Red (14% transmission) #25A Red The #25A filter strongly blocks the transmission of blue and green wavelengths, which result in very sharply defined contrast between the cloud formations and the lighter-toned surface features on Jupiter. This filter is also quite useful for definition of the Martian polar ice caps and maria. Try this one on Venus. Not only does it reduce the light glare, it really does some interesting things to the clouded Venusian atmosphere.

#11 Light Green (53% transmission This filter is excellent for the observation of Martian polar ice caps and for the yellow tinted dust storms on the planet's surface. It also increases the contrast of the red and blue regions in Jupiter's atmosphere and cloud belts. Another one that is great for lunar observing also.
