Moon Filter??

Hello, All!
I was wondering if any of you actually use a Moon filter of any type...
I replaced my XT-8 with an ETX-125 OTA on a Meade #826 EQ (The mount this tube should have had all along!)and I am interested in doing some long-term Moon observing, stuff like riles, domes, craterlets in Plato, etc...
In the past, I just "Bashed Through" without one, but I am starting to reconsider, being sick of seeing a "Blue Dot" every time I observe the Moon!
Comments?
Thanks!!

The Moon can certainly seem bright, but I have never been a fan of Moon filters. The Moon has very bright whites and extremely black shadows, and any filter(neutral denity or variable polarizing) I have tried seems to muddy the whites and turn the blacks grayish.

If you devote time to observing the Moon without a filter, you will get used to the brightness and it will cease being such an issue.

I highly recommend getting a copy of Harold Hill's "A Portfolio of Lunar Drawings."

Clear skies, Alan
