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.
