Hi Peter, I've been observing for 67 years, and have never had or wanted a moon filter. Just put your eye about 6" from the eyepiece so you can see the moon, and move your eye slowly up to the eyepiece over about
10 seconds or so. Your eye will adjust to the brightness surprisingly
quickly. After the adjustment is complete you can look at a full moon
without discomfort.
Various filters are useful for enhancing features on the planets, and certain nebulae. Go to the Astro Shop website and
download their comprehensive list of filters and their specific uses.
cheers raymo
