1.25" Colour Filter for Observation and Photography of Moon and Planets
Colour filters from Teleskop-Service offer excellent value for money. The filters are very well suited for observing and for astrophotography. Just screw the filter into the filter thred of your eyepiece, filter wheel or adapter and watch moon and planets with clearly more contrast.

List of the recommended colour filters with their ranges of application:
By combination of the filter, you open up new interesting fields of application. There is a recommended telescope aperture mentioned at each filter.
TS Light Yellow #8 - from 50 mm aperture

The false colour of achromatic refractors is reduced, like with a minus-violet filter. The contrast of moon and planets is increaesed. The contrast of the dust tail of comets is improved.
TS Yellow-Green #11 - from 60 mm aperture

The contrast of detail in the atmospheres of Jupiter and Saturn is increased.
TS Yellow #12 - from 80 mm aperture

The contrast on the surface of the moon is significantly increased. Surface details and clouds of Mars become visible. The Great Red Spot of Jupiter is ephasized. The blue fringe of achromatic refractors (false colour) is suppressed. The filter is also suitable for twilight observations.
TS Dark Yellow #15A - from 114 mm aperture

The effect is similar to the one of the yellow filter # 12, but more intensive.
TS Orange #21 - from 80 mm aperture

Dust storms on Mars become visible. Structures in the atmospheres of Jupiter and Saturn are better emphasized. The phases of Mercury and Venus can be observed better, even at daytime or in the twilight. In larger telescopes, also details in the atmosphere of Uranus become visible.
TS Light Red #23A - from 60 mm aperture

The filter considerably increases contrast on moon. The polar ice caps of Mars become already visible in telescopes from 100 mm aperture. The filter is ideal for daytime planetary observing as blue is entirely blocked.
TS Red # 25 - from 80 mm aperture

The effect is similar to the one of the light red filter # 23, but more intensive. The filter strongly enhances the surface details on Mars.
TS Dark Red # 29 - from 120 mm aperture

The effect of the light red filter # 23A or the red filter # 25 is extremely intensified again. The entire green and blue range of the light is cut off.
TS Light Blue # 82A - from 50 mm aperture

The filter is an important universal contrast filter for almost all objects in the solar system. Especially the cloud bands of Jupiter and Saturn are strengthened. The filter also emphasizes the polar ice caps of Mars in telescopes from 80 mm aperture.
TS Blue # 80A - from 70 mm aperture

The filter very well increases contrat in the atmospheres of Jupiter and Mars. The polar ice caps of Mars are considerably enhanced. The phases of Venus become better visible.
TS Dark Blue # 38A - from 100 mm aperture

The effect is similar to the one of the blue filter # 80A. With this filter, larger telescopes already show first structures in the atmosphere of Venus. Clouds on Mars also become visible in larger telescopes with this filter.
TS Violet # 47 - from 120 mm aperture

This extreme filter reveals the clouds of Venus in large telescopes. The filter is often referred as ideal Venus filter. Stuctures in the rings of Saturn can also become better visible.
TS Green # 56 - from 60 mm aperture

One of the most important contrast filters. Lunar craters become more visible, even away from the terminator. The filter also emphasize the Great Red Spot of Jupiter and the maller vortices of the gas giants Jupiter and Saturn.
TS Dark Green # 58 - from 120 mm aperture

The effect of the green filter # 56 is clearly increased again. Additionally, the rings of Saturn are separated from the planet even more clearly.

Here is experience from many years of astronomical practice:
















































































Colour Recommended minimum aperture Recommended for use on...
Light Yellow #8 50mm Aperture Moon, Mars, comets
You can reduce false colour in Fraunhofer refractors.
A nice universal contrast filter, even for small aperture telescopes
Yellow-Green #11 60mm Aperture Well suited for observations of Jupiter and Saturn. Reveals atmospheric structures even in small aperture telescopes.
Yellow #12 80mm Aperture Enhances contrast on the moon
Reveals surface details and clouds on Mars
Enhances cloud structures on Jupiter (especially the Great Red Spot)
Can be used in double star observations with refractors - reduces false colour in Fraunhofer refractors
Dark Yellow #15 114mm Aperture Similar to yellow, suitable for bigger aperture telescopes
Removes false colour in Fraunhofer refractors
Enhances the contrast of structures on Saturn
Orange #21 80mm Aperture Enhances contrast in daytime and twilight observations (Venus, Mercury) by suppressing the blue light
Reveals details on Mars (in larger aperture telescopes)
Further details in Jupiter´s and Saturn´s atmosphere are revealed
You may try spotting atmospheric structures on Uranus with large aperture telescopes.
Light Red #23A 60mm Aperture For very high contrast on the Moon - suitable for small aperture telescopes
This filter is used when observing the polar ice caps on Mars (100mm aperture and larger).
Separates the polar regions of Saturn from the equator region
Well suited for Venus by blocking the blue daylight. The sky appears black.
Red #25 80mm Aperture Similar to light red, suitable for telescopes of 100mm aperture and larger
Enhances details on Mars
Dark Red #29 120mm Aperture Similar to light red, suitable for telescopes of 150mm aperture and larger. This filter will make for an extreme contrast.
Light Blue #82A 50mm Aperture An important universal contrast filter for all telescopes, similar to light yellow. It brings along a gain in contrast on many objects within our solar system.
Blue #80A 70mm Aperture

General contrast gain on the moon, off its terminator
Enhances contrast in Jupiter´s and Saturn´s cloud bands
Enhances surface details on Mars
In large aperture telescopes you may see cloud details on Venus.
Good comet filter - boosts contrast in the comet´s tail


Dark Blue #38A 100mm Aperture Similar to blue, suited for telescopes of 150mm aperture or larger
Violet #47 120mm Aperture

Well-suited for observing Venus in telescopes of 150mm aperture or larger. It makes the dark clouds in Venus´ atmosphere visible.
Boosts structures in Saturn´s rings
You may also use this filter on Mercury under good seeing conditions in large telescopes.


Green #56 60mm Aperture An important universal contrast filter
Drastically boosts contrast on the Moon - better contrast even far off the terminator - suitable for low magnifications
This filter is especially effective on Jupiter, revealing the famous Great Red Spot and other reddish details in the Jovian atmosphere.
White spots in Saturn´s atmosphere are enhanced in telescopes of 200mm aperture or larger
Dark Green #58 120mm Aperture Similar to green, but suitable for telescopes of 150mm aperture or larger
