The filters are very good for viewing the celestial objects. Until now I saw the star clusters with it and it was amazing to look at. Can't wait to view the planets in the planetary viewing season.

Not too bad

I've tried this set on a few nights. It's not a bad set. I am new to the use of filters in visual astronomy. I find it works very subtley. Not as much as I had hoped but maybe that's filters in general. The neutral density filter works on something bright like the moon but you will still be seeing black for a bit when you take your eye from the eyepiece after viewing a full moon.
