Depending on atmospheric conditions on Earth and the planet being observed (or photographed), the advantages of color filters can be anywhere from subtle to dramatic.

Meade Series 4000 filters offer 26mm of clear aperture and are manufactured from the purest optical glass, dyed-in-the-mass (not "color coated"). There are no finer filters available for telescopic applications. They thread into the barrels of virtually any brand of 1.25" eyepiece as well as the 1.25" Meade Basic Camera adapter. They may also be stacked to achieve selective filtration of the visual color spectrum.

Each Series 4000 filter is packed in a foam-fitted plastic case for safe long-term storage. The color filters come in four economically priced sets.

An economical alternative to Series 4000 filters, this set includes widely-used red, yellow, blue and neutral density filters that adapt to most viewing conditions. They fit into the barrels of any Meade 1.25" eyepiece.
