A Very impressive set for the money
Very nice set in a super box. These are of higher quality than the filters "I got with the..."Polarizing filter in two pieces allows you to have one on each end of a Barlow or extension for ease of use. A few other higher value inclusions make this the little set to pick.

Good product for the money
I was surprised at the quality of these filters, housed in threaded aluminum casings and pretty nice quality glass dichroic filter material. For the price, I don't see how you can go wrong with these budget filters.

This little kit came with all the filters that a beginner could want. It's heavy on the filters that help with taking photos of the moon and planets, mostly the moon. This was great for me since I am new to the hobby. All the filters came in a nice case that will keep them safe and clean when not in use.One thing that the kit should have come with, is some way for a beginner to identify what filter does what for each planet or the moon.Overall this is a great way to buy most of the filters you will need and use the most.

This filter set gets you a lot of bang for your buck.
Whether you're just starting out, or you just want to add to your filter collection, this is a great set. The filters look and feel well made. The fit and finish is great. They glass is pristine. This, of course, should be the case with a new set of filters, but unfortunately is not always the case. You get a lot here. The five color filters are great selection for bringing out planetary detail or making some planets pop against a blue sky. You get the venerable 13% transmission moon filter, which is pretty much a must have in every amateur astronomers equipment case. You also get a variable polarizing filter set, which may be my favorite of the bunch. Even if your going with lesser known brands, a variable polarizing set will generally cost you at least $20. You can almost double that price if you go with one of the big brands like Celestron or Orion. It's great that they chose to include a polarizing set here.Then, of course, there is the Lunar & Starglow Filter and the UHC filter. I live in a heavily light polluted area, so broadband Starglow type filters don't really make much of on impact for me. I have an Orion SkyGlow and Lumicon Deep Sky that rarely get used for this same reason. The UHC on the other hand does improve contrast somewhat. Not to the extent of my Orion or Lumicon UHC filters, but those individual filters cost about double what this entire set costs! Mind you, I spent years building up a filter set. Affordable sets like these didn't exist when I was starting out. I sure wish they did. Come to think of it, light pollution filters didn't exist when I was starting out. Keep in mind that a light pollution type filter like the UHC will improve contrast but darken the entire view. For this reason it's better used in scopes of at least 4" in aperture. That's just been my experience, and I'm no expert. And before I forget, let me also add that the case the filters come in is quite nice. Needless to say, I give this Neewer filter set a big thumbs up!

Solid price for the set, good quality
Color filters are pretty simple, as filters go. These seem like good quality with no visible blemishes to the eye nor during use. The threading isn't quite as smooth as some other Neewer filters I've got, but they are fine.It's nice that they come in a case, but the foam they are pushed into is fairly firm which led me to flip the first one out on to the table and the second one I planted a firm fingerprint on by accident. I might have preferred the face up style of filter case, at least for easy of removal, but the edge on setup does take up less space and make it easy to read the filter number on the edge.It took me a second to realize that the variable polarizing filter actually consists of two parts, both labeled identically, that need to be screwed together before being used. Had I referenced the product images it would have been immediately obvious. But already owning one of Neewer's larger variable polarizing filters for my DSLR, which manages to be a single piece while using the very thin filter frame I expected they could have fit the variable filter into a single one of the standard thicker frames that this set uses; I guess it was cheaper to make it two parts. It would have been nice if they'd had a thicker hole in one spot in the case foam to store the polarizing filter together as a single part instead, but it's not a particularly big deal.I'm happy with the product in the end and look forward to highlighting the various planetary features in my astronomy groups outreach stargazing parties.

Outstanding choice for anyone looking to enhance their stargazing and moon observation experience
This set includes 10 different filters, each with a unique purpose, giving you the ability to customize your view of the night sky.The 5 planetary color filters are a standout feature of this set, each one designed to bring out specific features and details of planets such as Jupiter, Saturn, Mars, and Venus. These filters are perfect for amateur astronomers looking to observe these planets in greater detail.The 2 variable polarizing filters are another useful addition to this set, allowing you to adjust the brightness and glare of the moon, making it easier to view details on its surface. The UHC filter and the lunar & starglow filter are also great for viewing deep sky objects such as nebulas and galaxies.The 13% lunar filter is perfect for observing the moon, reducing its brightness and allowing you to see more of its surface details, such as craters and mountains.Overall, the NEEWER 1.25” Telescope Eyepiece Filter Set is an excellent value for its price. The variety of filters included in this set allows you to customize your viewing experience, bringing out details and features that may be otherwise invisible. If you are looking to enhance your stargazing and moon observation experience, I highly recommend this filter set.
