GSO Filters

Burgess Optical is now importing, distributing, and selling GSO filters. These filters are Hoya filters and are available in 14 different colors. They are glass and mono-coated (single anti-reflective coating). The filters fit standard 1-1/4" threads. Each filter is threaded to accept another filter or other threaded 1-1/4" accessory. Fully screwed into an eyepiece or diagonal, each filter protrudes an additional 5/16" (7.7mm) beyond the end of the barrel.

Each filter comes in a plastic case. Each case is 1-3/4" x 2-5/32" x 11/16" (43mm x 54mm x 18mm) and comes with a friction fit clear cover.

Each color is useful for bringing out planetary detail. See http://sciastro.net/portia/advice/filters.htm for a good description of filters and what each color is best suited for. The following list identifies each of the filters by Wratten number and color.
