Orion® Moon Filter

#5662 1.25" Version, 13% transmission #5594 2" Version, 13% transmission #5598 1.25" Version, 25% transmission

The Orion Moon filter allows comfortable view- ing of the lunar surface. The Moon can be exceptionally bright, even during its partial phases. This brightness can not only wash out subtle details of the lunar surface, but it can also cause eyestrain and fatigue. A Moon filter solves this problem by reducing the amount of light that gets to your eye without losing any

important detail or making any color changes to the image. With the Moon filter in place, you can enjoy lunar surface details such as maria, craters, mountains and rilles.

Using the Moon Filter

To use the Moon filter you will need to thread it into a 1.25" (for #5662 and #5598) or 2" (for #5594) telescope eyepiece that can accept threaded filters. Any Orion eyepiece will work. Simply thread the filter into the eyepiece barrel until it is finger tight. You may also “stack” filters by threading another filter into the bottom of the first.

After threading the filter into the eyepiece, place the eyepiece in the telescope and bring it into focus. You should now be able to view the Moon’s detailed surface without any parts being washed out due to excessive brightness.

Cleaning and Maintenance

When not in use, the Moon filter should be kept in its original padded case. Given proper care and storage, the filter should last a lifetime. Should the filter need cleaning for any reason, use the following directions to clean the filter without damaging it.

Any quality optical lens cleaning tissue and optical lens cleaning fluid specifi- cally designed for multi-coated optics can be used to clean the glass surfaces of your filter. Never use regular glass cleaner or cleaning fluid designed for eyeglasses.

Before cleaning with fluid and tissue, blow any loose particles off the surface with a blower bulb or compressed air. Then apply some cleaning fluid to a tissue, never directly on the optics. Wipe the lens gently in a circular motion, then remove any excess fluid with a fresh lens tissue. Oily fingerprints and smudges may be removed using this method. Use caution; rubbing too hard may scratch the glass.

5662 specifications

The Orion 5662 is a sophisticated spacecraft designed for a variety of missions including research, exploration, and logistics. This advanced spacecraft stands out due to its innovative technology and features that enhance its performance and capabilities in space.

At the core of the Orion 5662 is its robust propulsion system, which employs a combination of traditional chemical propulsion and cutting-edge ion thrusters. The chemical propulsion provides powerful bursts of thrust for launch and maneuvers through dense atmospheres, while the ion thrusters are designed for precise adjustments and deep-space travel. This hybrid approach improves fuel efficiency and overall mission flexibility.

Another key feature of the Orion 5662 is its modular design. The spacecraft can be configured for numerous tasks, enabling it to switch between scientific research, cargo transport, or crewed missions. This versatility is made possible by its interchangeable modules, which can be outfitted with different scientific instruments or payloads depending on mission requirements.

The onboard technology is also noteworthy, particularly its state-of-the-art avionics and navigation systems. The advanced autopilot and guidance systems utilize machine learning algorithms, allowing the Orion 5662 to optimize its trajectory in real-time and adapt to changing conditions in space. This is complemented by a satellite-based communication system that ensures uninterrupted data transmission with mission control, enhancing operational efficiency.

Safety and reliability are paramount in the design of the Orion 5662. The spacecraft is equipped with a sophisticated life support system, ensuring that crewed missions maintain optimal living conditions, including air quality and temperature control. It also features redundant systems that provide backups for critical components, minimizing the risk of mission failure.

The Orion 5662 boasts a durable exterior construction designed to withstand the harsh conditions of space. The materials used are lightweight yet incredibly strong, reducing the overall mass of the spacecraft while ensuring structural integrity during launch and in orbit. Furthermore, thermal protection systems shield the spacecraft from extreme temperatures during atmospheric re-entry.

With its combination of advanced propulsion, modular design, cutting-edge electronics, and robust construction, the Orion 5662 represents a significant leap forward in spacecraft technology. It is poised to contribute significantly to future exploration and research initiatives, opening new frontiers in our understanding of the universe.
