Planetary filters

Astronomical filters for planetary observation and photography are intended to enhance the vision of these stars. They focus on improving contrast and color, in order to observe details and singularities of the planetary atmosphere, such as spots, disturbances, outer rings, etc ...

In this type of filter options of different colors are combined, each one specific for the observation of a type of planet or detail. The most common are Reds, Violets, Oranges, Yellows and blues. It depends on the farm of spectral light that they block, it will determine their utility, for example in ultraviolet for the observation of Venus.
