Mars filter 1.25"

#1

Post by Jones »


Found a new-old stock Mars filter on ebay. Bought mine a week ago, said he had 15 of them. Now down to 11. Been looking intently at Mars since 1988. Never heard of these. Get'em while you can. Have to wait a year to try it.

Arizona- where the sky's are not cloudy all night.

Triple lensed fracs are so yummy when looking at planets.

Good forward planning!

I also suggest the Baader Contrast Booster, the best Mars filter I've found, and I've had lots.
