The Orion variable polarizing lter reduces the amount of light entering
your eyepiece from your telescope. You can dim the view when observ-
ing a bright object, such as the Moon or a planet. The var iable polar-
izing lter will not change the color of the object being viewed, and will
prevent eye fatigue and loss of night vision.
Assembly
The 1.25" variable polarizing lter comes in two halves; the upper half,
with the knurled ring, and the lower half, with the logo. To assemble,
simply thread the lower half into the upper half until it is nger tight
(Figure 1). The top ring of the lter should now turn freely without
unthreading the two halves. You can look through the lter at a source
of light while turning the ring to see the effect it has in reducing light. To
separate the two halves, hold the lter by the knurled ring on the upper
half and unthread the lower half. The 2" variable polarizing lter comes
already assembled in its case.
To use the lter in a telescope, simply thread the assembled lter into
any telescope eyepiece that accepts 1.25"(for #5560) or 2" (for #5562)
lter threads, such as any Orion eyepiece. Thread the lter into the
eyepiece until it is nger tight.
You may also “stack” other lters by threading them into the bottom of
the variable polarizer.
