DSO views with Minus Violet Filter?

Hey!

I have a 6" Celestron achro refractor and I'm thinking about getting a Williams Optics 2" Minus Violet filter to put permanently on the diagonal.

I'm a bit worried that this will effect the overall light transmission and therefore the views / details of DSO.

Anybody have any experience with this sort of thing?

Thanks!
Alan
