do filters enable you to see colors during planetary viewing?

Answer 1

Filters will help tremendously with allowing certain colors to be brought out. The reason that photos look so amazing is because they are usually 30second to 2 minute exposures (sometimes even longer) these exposures are then stacked on top of each other and the colors are enhanced to give us the amazing images we see in magazines and on the internet. Filters will not allow you to see the images as well as these photos do, but they are a big improvement over normal glass viewing.

Answer 2

There are some "planetary contrast" filters that will help bring out the colors, especially on Jupiter. Sometimes a neutral density filter will help by reducing the glare, especially when viewing through a large telescope.

Color filters tend to make everything all one color, but can be useful for emphasizing the contrast of some features.

Answer 3

I find filters don't help me much with planetary viewing. I find that I can perceive more if I'm looking at the original full-colour image of the planet. I've tried using them many times, but in the end, I just leave them in my eyepiece case. Making drawings of planets will help you a lot in seeing fine detail...try it!

Answer 4

every eye look same thing with same colour because, it is not the eyes which provide colour to the object but the light. i hope you've heard about spectrum??every object reflect certain coloured ray of light while absorb all others.for example, a leaf absorbs the six colours out of seven and reflect only the green colour. in the same way the white objects r those which reflect all the rays and the black objects absorb all the rays. but there are some people who cannot differentiate between colours , now that is a certain eye disease in which the cells of eyes known as rods and cones are affected. therefore the colour of an object does notdepends on the eye colur. is it clear now??????????
