"Do not overestimate the importance of a moon filter for lunar viewing."
I think you mean "underestimate". When I first read the sentence above, I thought you were going to argue that a filter wasn't very important.
The need for it depends greatly on aperture and magnification; an 80mm is fine without it, a 127mm is better with it, and a 250mm really, really needs a filter.
We really need more articles on the Moon on Cloudy Nights. Someone should write a regular Cloudy Nights column on the subject. The deep sky gets a lot of attention, but our neighbor is often neglected.
