FILTERED MOON  

The below coloured views were created using just the simple "designer swatch" of filters that normally are used for lighting. These filters are very thin and flexible and can contain
upto 300 variations in the spectrum colour range. While they are not like the usual lunar glass filters available, they do work in seeing certain features on the Moon.

ABOVE
Observations made using the various coloured filters from the swatch (click image for closer view).
It's quire surprising as to what an observer can see using the above filters (2, 4 and 9 are excellent for showing up darker features - maria-flows, dark-halo craters etc.,
while 2, 8 and 12 were useful for showing up the lighter features - rays, young impacts craters etc.,). NB. The in-between numbered filters were also useful, but,
showed variations on a theme of the above-mentioned numbers.
 

BELOW
Designer swatch, and eyepiece-caps made from them. NB. As not wanting to promote such advertised swatches, there are plenty out there at very cheap prices. The below swatch
cost this observer about Euro 10.00 ($13.00) a year-and-a-half ago -- upto two small circular filters can be made from each swatch selection.
