Errrrr, what kind of filters are you referring to?
Nebula, color, solar, LPR?

I'll assume you are referring to Narrowband filters... (but I could be wrong...)

Lumicon makes some of the best, but there are some manufacturers that are almost as good, if not better on some particular filters...

Orion also has the UltraBlock, which is considered to be a VERY CLOSE match to the Lumicon UHC... (these two are probably some of the most popular and most useful ones)

Of course there's also the O-III filters, for which I would say Lumicon is the best one out there...

Anyways, let us know WHICH filters in particular you were referring to...

Clear skies my friend!

Nice one Paul!
Good to see some of you have a chance to go out & play...

I have had nothing but bad weather lately, and taking the scope out is a BIG risk when clouds are around in South Florida, as you could get showered at any time...

Anyways, thanks for sharing, and keep it up!
