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.          Description:   #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.   #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.   #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.   #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.           Terms & Conditions: All Hirsch products sold are high quality and brand new directly from the manufacture unless stated "as used" in the auction.
