Meade - SET #1 Color Filter Series 4000

# 12 Yellow (74% transmission): Contrasts strongly with blue-colored features on Jupiter
and Saturn, while enhancing red and orange features. Lightens red-orange features on Mars, while
reducing or blocking the transmission, and thereby increasing the contrast, of blue-green areas.
Useful in increasing the contrast of lunar features in telescopes 6” aperture and larger.

# 23A Light Red (25% transmission): On telescopes of 6” aperture and larger the # 23A does
approximately the same functions as the # 21 filter, but with stronger contrast and enhancement of
marginally defined blue-green surface detail. Useful primarily on Jupiter, Saturn, and Mars.
Increases contrast between Mercury and bright blue sky during daylight observations or during
twilight.

# 58 Green (24% transmission): Use on telescopes 8” aperture and larger to reject blue-
and red-toned structures on the surface of Jupiter and thereby increase their contrast relative
to lighter parts of the disc. Also use for the enhancement of Saturn’s cloud belts and polar
regions. Strongly increases contrast of Mars’ polar ice caps, and increases contrast of
atmospheric phenomena on Venus.

# 80A Blue (30% transmission): A popular filter for the study of Jupiter and Saturn.
Enhances contrast of rilles and festoons in Jupiter’s cloud belts, as well as details of the Red
Spot. Brings out detail in Saturn’s belts and polar phenomena. Very useful as a
contrast-enhancing lunar filter.
