Questions & Answers

Will a gskyer telescoper be able to use this?

If your eyepiece has a 1 in it, then yes. Thread length is 25".

What distinguishes this from a light pollution filter or a moon and sky glow, for example? They're all the same shade of light purple. ?

It is solely for the purpose of reducing light pollution. It does the job, but there are better options available for Astrophotography. however, it's good for the eyes

Is this a good way to bring out the details in the moon and planets?

I prefer the moon filter. Only a small portion of the spectrum is supposed to be blocked.

Selected User Reviews For ICE 1.25" LiPo Filter for Telescope Light Pollution Reduction for Night Sky/Star

Depending on the light, it turns a light blue or purple color

5/5

I purchased it to help reduce light pollution as well as for use on the moon. It functions admirably. It can also be used in conjunction with other light pollution or color filters. It performed exceptionally well on the moon. I'm excited to try it out on planets and stars as well. It's something I'd suggest to others. Experiment with various approaches. Combine it with other filters to get the best results. It works well for me because I live in a light-polluted area. 😊.

On other visible wavelengths, it is very neutral.

Glass that has been colored

3/5

I've worked in astronomy for 30 years and have used numerous LPRs (light pollution reduction filters) that have proven to be effective. The majority of them are in the $50 to $100 range. I thought I'd give this one a shot since I'd been out of astronomy for a few years and had sold most of my older filters, but I can tell you that it had no effect on my light pollution like my other filters had. It appears to me that this is colored glass. Even the glass isn't particularly good. Be careful what you buy.

It's a good idea to add it to your collection

5/5

I live in an area where there is a lot of light pollution. Jupiter and Saturn gained a little more detail as a result of this.

For the price, this is an excellent lens

5/5

First and foremost, I am not an expert; rather, I am a fan of science in general. Using an Orion Skyquest XT8, I used the lens in a brightly lit area to observe the moon and stars. The contrast was excellent, and I was able to see even small details. The picture of the moon does not do justice to the beautiful sight we witnessed, but it is a good piece to have for the price.

There was no significant difference that I noticed

4/5

Maybe my city isn't as light-polluted as others, but it had little or no effect on my perception.

I'm not sure if it works or not, but it definitely distorts colors

3/5

Given that I live in one of the world's most light-polluted areas, I'm not sure what I was expecting, but I couldn't tell if there was a difference between using this and not using it. One thing I noticed is that there's a lot of chromatic aberration around the edges of whatever you're looking at, so it's a worse view than just using the lens as is.
