What are color filters used for?
The Value Of Color Filters
For most astronomy enthusiasts, you can get by without the use of color filters. However, there are certain situations where color filters may enhance your viewing experience. Color filters work well when you want to enhance the detail on a planet by placing a complimentary color on your telescope. For instance, if you are looking at a blue colored marking on a planet you may want to add an orange color filter to your telescope. Keep in mind that when you are viewing deep sky objects, color filters serve no value to your viewing experience.
