The 2" yellow filter No.12 from Explore Scientific is designed to enhance contrast when observing celestial objects, particularly on the Moon, Mars, Jupiter, and Saturn. This filter increases visibility of details by enhancing contrasts, especially between the cloud bands of Jupiter. With a telescope of at least 8" in diameter, this filter also allows for finer details on Saturn to be observed in optimal observing conditions. It reduces excessive brightness, thus preventing overexposure and making details sharper.
