Improve the resolution and contrast of planetary and lunar images with this set of four color filters that enhance surface details and highlight even the subtlest planetary features. Using the correct filter, for example, can mean the difference between seeing and not seeing small craterlets on the Moon or seeing six festoons on Jupiter versus two. Includes:#8 Light Yellow Filter – 83% light transmission: A popular filter for the enhancement of lunar features#21 Orange Filter – 46% light transmission: Sharpens boundaries between the yellow-orange areas and blue-green regions on Mars#38A Dark Blue Filter – 17% light transmission: Strongly rejects orange and red wavelengths, making it great for the study of Jupiter's disc#56 Light Green Filter – 53% light transmission: Enhances detail of yellow-tinted dust storms on Martian surface Meade Series 4000 Filters measure 26mm in clear aperture and are manufactured from the purest crown optical glass, dyed-in-the-mass (not "color coated"). Each filter is anti-reflection coated on both sides and is mounted in a machined aluminum cell with the written number of the filter marked on the side of the cell. Filters may be piggybacked – or stacked – to achieve selective filtration of the visual color spectrum. For visual applications, Series 4000 Filters thread into the barrels of all Meade 1.25" eyepieces. Each filter is packed in a foam-fitted plastic case for secure long-term storage.

Unsolved History is history the way it was! Through detailed examination of archaeological and forensic evidence, existing photographs, authentic artifacts, and carefully selected interviews from eyewitnesses and experts – events are reconstructed and historical questions are finally answered.Prepare for a startling forensic examination of the assassination of President Kennedy. From the sixth floor of the Texas School Book Depository to the sewers beneath Dealey Plaza, it all goes under the microscope. Join world-class sharpshooter Michael Yardley in Dallas for a dramatic demonstration of Lee Harvey Oswald's version of events. After visiting the site of the assassination to take measurements, Unsolved History's investigative team recreates the Oswald shots at a local firing range...complete with a 1962 Lincoln convertible for a moving target. Secret Service agent Winston Lawson retraces that day's presidential motorcade route, pointing out key locations and "hotspots"- demonstrating the lengths the Secret Service went to protect JFK. Then, turning Dealey Plaza into a laboratory, the team goes underground to examine the outlandish theory that other gunmen fired at the president from storm drains in the Plaza. Finally, join Oswald on the run as experts re-enact his every move in the frantic moments after the shooting.

Travel to Israel for a look at the causes and potential consequences of a massive new security wall now under construction – a barrier between Israel and Palestine. Ostensibly, the wall is intended to keep suicide bombers out of Israel. But the wall's circuitous route – which seems to go out of its way to include Jewish settlements – smacks of a first step toward formalizing borders for two separate states. But, even as tensions rise in this "demographic time bomb," evidence points to a future that sees Palestinians giving up their pursuit of the West Bank – and fighting instead for a better life.
