saxon Colour Planetary Filter No.56

Enhance planetary and lunar detail with the saxon Colour Planetary Filter No.56 (Light Green). Designed to improve contrast during visual observation, it highlights Mars’ polar caps and atmospheric features, sharpens Jupiter’s belts, and improves contrast on Saturn’s belts and rings. It also brings out subtle surface textures and shading on the Moon.

With 53% light transmission and quality optical glass, this filter delivers brighter, clearer views without sacrificing detail. Compatible with all standard 1.25" eyepieces, it’s an excellent upgrade for real-time viewing and live astrophotography.

Why Every Stargazer Needs a No. 56:

• The Mars Specialist: This is a must-have for Mars. It dramatically heightens the contrast of the polar ice caps and helps you track dust storms moving across the Martian surface.

• The Gas Giant Enhancer: Watch Jupiter’s belts and Saturn’s rings come to life. It specifically targets the red and blue tones to make the atmospheric bands look more defined.

• Lunar Texture: On the Moon, the No. 56 acts like a texture map, bringing out the rugged shadows of craters and the subtle shifts in lunar soil that are usually lost in the moonlight's brilliance.

• Pro-Grade Optics: Crafted from premium optical glass, it threads easily into any standard 1.25" eyepiece, giving you real-time clarity that digital software simply can't replicate at the lens.
