1. PRODUCT DESCRIPTION
Variable polarizing filter improves subtle detail in Moon and bright planets
Cuts down on glare of bright lunar and terrestrial images
Transmission continuously variable from 2-40% for a wide range of viewing situations
Includes convenient short profile 1.25" eyepiece tube to make it easy to change eyepieces without having to remove and replace filter element
While observing the moon or planets, there is often too much light that washes out subtle details. This glare can be cut back using neutral density filters or polarizers. Polarizers are also helpful for splitting binary stars by reducing glare and diffraction around the brighter star of a binary pair.
The variable polarizing filter makes this even better by stacking two 1.25" polarizing filters together. By rotating the two elements, light transmission can be continuously varied between about 2% and 40%. This filter retains true color balance since all wavelengths are transmitted uniformly over the entire spectrum.
This BST StarGuider polarizing filter also includes a very handy, short profile 1.25" eyepiece tube. The two filters are attached to this tube, allowing you to quickly change eyepieces without having to screw/unscrew the filters to individual eyepieces. However, the addition of this adapter requires about 1" of additional in-focus travel to compensate for its length in the optical path. Also, note that the inside depth of this tube is only 14mm (0.55") so your eyepiece will stick out by a bit if its 1.25" barrel is longer than this.
The two polarizing elements can also be unscrewed to obtain two polarizing filters (see photo 2) which can be used for day time photography or to improve contrast in images when only a little reduction in transmitted light is desired. The filters have a standard 1.25" thread (M28.5 x 0.6) so they can be screwed on to any virtually any standard 1.25" eyepiece or accessory. Or leave one filter on the assembly and screw the other one into your eyepiece, and you can vary the polarization effect by conveniently rotating the eyepiece in the holder.

4. INTERNATIONAL ORDERING / SHIPPING
Shipping Cost:
Click on the "Shipping and Payments" tab above and select your country to see your shipping choices and cost. If you need a shipping cost estimate for multiple items, please contact us.
Delivery Time:
1) USPS First Class International:
Delivery takes about 3-4 weeks after we ship your package.
This can frequently take 4-6 weeks or more for several countries (8 weeks for Italy, Argentina, and South Africa; 8-12 weeks for Brazil)
.
THERE IS NO TRACKING FOR FIRST CLASS SHIPMENTS. The information shown in your eBay account is just a customs form number - it is NOT a tracking number as incorrectly indicated by eBay.
Once your package ships, we can do nothing but wait until your package arrives. Please do not become impatient and contact us in 2-3 weeks if your package has not arrived. If you don't receive the package in 6 weeks, contact us and we will work with you to resolve the issue. If you don't want to take the risk of this delay, then DO NOT USE First Class mail - use Priority or Express shipping instead.
(2) USPS Priority Mail International:
Delivery takes 1 - 2 weeks after we ship your package. This can sometimes take 3-4 weeks to several countries. The USPS provides some basic tracking information for Priority shipping.
(3) USPS Express Mail International:
Delivery usually takes 5-10 business days after we ship your package. You will receive a tracking number with which you can track your shipment from USPS.com. Note: If you use this option, you must send us your phone number when you check-out or else your shipment will be delayed. This is required for international postal forms.
Again, these delivery times are NOT guaranteed by the US Postal Service. The most common reason for delays is slow customs inspection and clearance in your country, and can be very long, even for Express mail packages. Upon shipping your order, delivery delays are beyond our control, so do not leave us negative feedback or file a Paypal claim if your package is delayed. Delays are quite common but losses are very rare, so your patience/cooperation will be greatly appreciated.
Customs and Duties:
You are responsible for any duties and taxes that may be levied in your country. These are not included in the item price or shipping cost. We have no control over these charges and cannot predict what they may be or if they will be levied upon delivery. Customs policies vary widely from country to country (Some countries such as UK are strict about imposing hefty customs duties). It is your responsibility to check with your country's customs office to determine what these additional costs will be prior to bidding or buying. Customs fees are normally charged by the delivery company or your country's postal service, or collected when you pick the item up. These fees are NOT additional shipping charges.

A minimum restocking fee of 10% will be deducted if there is any evidence of use or wear, dirt, scratches, missing packaging/parts, etc. We may levy a larger restocking fee if the condition warrants it, or even refuse returns entirely if returned in heavily used/abused condition. Shipping fees are non-refundable (for items with free or discounted fixed shipping, the actual outbound S&H cost we incurred will be deducted) and you are responsible for all return shipping costs. Please contact us first before returning an item.
International Orders:
No returns/exchanges accepted unless the item we shipped is defective. Please research the product and ask us any questions BEFORE you purchase to make sure you are buying the correct item for your needs.
