Jupiter filter

This was the most appropriate forum I could think of for the question I have. Can anyone recommend a filter for cutting some of the glare off of Jupiter without introducing an off-color view? I have an 18" Obsession, and I mainly use my 17mm Nagler and my 15mm panoptic along with a 2X powermate. A moon filter would cut out too much light. I would think a filter that cuts about 10-15% of the light throughput would work well.

Thanks for any suggestions.

Well, you could always use an adjustable polarizing filter, instead of a standard Moon Filter... so you can adjust how much light blocking you want.

There are a variety of ways to mask your mirror to cut down the light.
