Eyepiece Filters What To Expect ? Confused........

Posted By Ivan Gastaldo
Hello Albert, and welcome aboard! 8)

I'm with Jon on this one...
I have probably used my color filters a couple of times since I've had them (4-5 years?) and to tell you the truth, I enjoy viewing the planets in their TRUE color, even though the color filters might help you "find" specific features in the planets, but so far I have not had a NEED for them...

On the other hand, I find that having a Lumicon UHC (or Orion Ultrablock), and a Lumicon OIII filter is a must for getting the most out of Nebulas, specially if you live in Light Polluted areas...
Specific nebulas, like The HorseHead, would need an H-Beta filter too...


Clear skies! wink

Nice report Herb!
One of my favorite open clusters too is NGC2362, as I find the central star simply mesmerizing... 8)

How old are you???

Posted By Ivan Gastaldo
Well, here we go... wink

I'm 40 years old, born in Lima-Peru.

I live in VERY light polluted Coconut Creek, FL (with limiting Mag 3 skies), and try my best to go out to The Everglades (Dark Site) whenever possible (but that might be once every 3 months, due to real-life issues)

I've been always attracted to Astronomy since a child, but started "really" enjoying it with scopes and such about 6 years ago...
