The Blue Filter is one of the most commonly used filters amongst the entire spectrum of filters. It is perhaps the best filter for the study of detail on Jupiter and Saturn. It enhances the contrast of rills and festoons in Jupiter's cloud belts, as well as details of the Great Red Spot

I've heard a lot of planetary observers use the Baader Moon and Sky Glow filter. I'm pretty sure that's it anyway.

The Baader M&SG is great for bringing out colour and detail in the Jovian clouds. If the seeing doesn't support higher magnification to reduce the exit pupil then a light neutral density helps...

If you already own a broadband or light pollution filter just use that as your planetary filter. That's a trick not many people are aware of.

For once adding MSG is a good thing.

Hi Joe,

Yes that's a "BroadBand" Light Pollution Filter. It doesn't need to be that one specifically, they all work very well as "Planetary Filters", notwithstanding they might not work as well as each other for their designed light pollution reduction purpose.

These work well as "Planetary Filters" because they reduce "Irradiation" which is the distortion of the Boundaries between light and darker features and they soften the tones of similar adjacent colours. Both of which helps to improve the "signal to noise ratio"

Cheers,
John B

Blue #80A will do it and reduce the brightness.
If you prefer a more natural color, try:
--Baader Moon & Sky Glow filter
--Neutral density #50
Both of those cut the brightness a tad without a color shift.
