Explore Scientific 2" ND 0.9 Filter

Explore Scientific's 2" Neutral Density (ND) Filter allows light to pass uniformly across the whole visual spectrum. This makes it a superb filter for reducing glare and irradiation when observing the Moon with any telescope 4"(10.2cm) and larger.

The Explore ND Filter has a density of 0.9 and a transmission of 13% and comes in a 2" metal cell that can be threaded easily onto the 2" barrel of an eyepiece, Barlow, or another accessory. Besides working great on the Moon, it will help split close double stars where one star is much brighter than the other. Neutral density filters also help decrease brightness when using your telescope for terrestrial viewing on a bright, sunny day.

Customer Reviews (4.4 / 5 · 5 reviews)

Ruby T. ★★★★★

The moon looked absolutely crisp through my 2" eyepiece with this filter — no washed-out glare at all. It lets light through evenly across the spectrum, so Jupiter's bands stayed sharp without that harsh brightness. I've used it three nights in a row now and I'm genuinely impressed.

John I. ★★★★★

The neutral density filtering is perfectly even across the whole spectrum, so the moon's glare is cut without any weird color shifts. It threads onto my 2" diagonal smoothly and stays secure. This is exactly what I needed for high-power lunar observing.

Carter R. ★★★★★

Used this on a bright gibbous moon with my 2" eyepiece and it toned down the glare beautifully without muddying the craters. The light stays even across the whole field, which is exactly what I needed.
