Filters to Use...

Post by stargazer »

Guys,

Can I have your opinion that given a budget just for purchase of a filter, which filter would you opt for considering the use - planetary, nebula, reduce skyglow whatever - for conditions in SG?

UHC/LPR or Oxgen III?

Thanks... [smilie=ahaaah.gif]

@cloud_cover: Mainly visual for nebulas and galaxies. Saw M42 last weekend and thought if the filters will enhance the image (& other nebulaes) and reduce skyglow.


@kochu: thanks for the info!

Cheers :)
