Baader Contrast Booster Filter – Contrast and Sharpness Without False Colour

The Baader Contrast Booster is an advanced optical filter made of neodymium-doped glass, designed to eliminate chromatic aberration in achromatic refractors and dramatically improve image contrast and sharpness. With over 95% transmission, it delivers brighter images than classic green Moon filters, with more natural colour rendering.

It completely eliminates the false colours typical of budget achromatic refractors, removes blue chromatic aberration, enhances detail on Jupiter and Mars (including the Great Red Spot), and darkens atmospheric skyglow for a darker sky background. No loss of quality even beyond 200x magnification.

Ideal for

  • Lunar and planetary observation: eliminates blue cast and reveals fine detail
  • Solar observation (only with a Baader AstroSolar filter): sharper, more natural image
  • Terrestrial observation: more neutral, higher-contrast image
  • Demanding beginners: a better alternative to the green Moon filters supplied with telescopes

Available formats

Available in 2 formats: 1¼" (31.8mm) and 2" (50.8mm).
