Neutral Density filter - sometimes might use it on Jupiter or Venus when they are at their brightest, but usually not required. Different people react differently. Some have no problem with full Moon in a low power eyepiece (as you go to higher power, the image is fainter - you are seeing less of the object, hence less of the total light is entering the eye). Some find it hurts too much and really need a filter.
