saxon Colour Planetary Filter No.56 – Green (1.25")

Improve planetary detail and atmospheric contrast with the saxon Colour Planetary Filter No.56 – Green (1.25"), a green filter that transmits 53% of visible light. This filter enhances visibility of Mars’ polar ice caps and atmosphere, improves contrast on the belts of Saturn, and sharpens detail in Jupiter’s polar regions.

Also ideal for lunar observation, the No.56 green filter brings out surface textures and subtle shading differences across the Moon’s terrain. Compatible with any standard 1.25" eyepiece, it’s a versatile tool for both amateur and advanced astronomers seeking higher contrast and definition during visual observations.

Though digital imaging software can adjust colour balance, optical filters like the #56 remain essential for live viewing and real-time astrophotography, where in-the-moment clarity and enhancement are critical.
