AC061 Dew shield flexible for 12" SCT $118AUD

these filters are good as well
Baader Neodymium Moon & Skyglow Filter
(It enhances contrast of all reddish details and so this filter can also be used for planetary viewing (the Great Red Spot on Jupiter), as well as of blue details (some surface and atmospheric details on Mars when stacked with the yellow filter). A positive feature is that the image retains its natural colors in as opposed to the effect of conventional color filters.
