Excuse me, but I still didn't get if these filters are suitable with Levenhuk Strike 80 NG Telescope.

Customer service:

Shepard Dunn (2015.02.15)

This is a good filter set, reasonably priced and extensive. The red filter gives you better contrast during lunar observations with low and medium magnifications. The yellow filter does the same with higher magnification, it is also great for observing Saturn and Jupiter. The green one helped me to observe polar caps on Mars. If you combine blue and green filters, you will get something similar to neutral 13% lunar filter. The green filter itself is close to neutral gray. But for me the red one still worked better. The blue filter is close to Moon&Skyglow, so you can try using it for deep-sky observations in the city. Resume: excellent set for all occasions that will not burden your set of telescope accessories with too much glass.

Customer service:

Thank you for your feedback on Solar System Levenhuk F4 Filter Set.
