Hi everyone,

I'm having trouble viewing Jupiter, the darn thing is just too bright for me to view it for any length of time without stuffing my vision and hurting my eye.

I tried using mymoon filter but I lost a lot of detail, is there a filter available that will reduce the brightness and maintain the detail?
