Moon blind

Have just moved 5 doors down the street and further into Newcastle's industrial glare. Only celestial object I can see most of the time apart from sun is the moon. So I'm going to have to become a selenologist for a while, otherwise known as a loonie I guess. Moon looks fantastic through a 10" scope but trouble is the glare, of course, which I'm sure is very bad for eyesight.

Point of post, can anyone tell me about moon filters?

I'm sure there are ones that don't work, and ones that spoil the view, etc. etc., for the unwary to buy.

Scope takes the larger size eyepieces, 2" I guess, with an adapter for the smaller ones.

Thanks muchly
