TS-Optics Optics 1.25" Colour Filter Blue #80A - Minimum Aperture 70 mm

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.
