Hi David,

I'm not sure about the prism diagonal, but a violet-reduction filter works wonders with the Orion 100mm f/6. I used to own the Orion 100mm f/6, and I also had a William Optics VR-1 filter - which was a must for planetary and lunar viewing. The benefit was negligible on other targets, like deep sky, but it certainly helped tame the color on brighter targets and at higher powers. FWIW, I tried 2 other violet reduction filters (Orion and Baader FK), and the WO was the best.

Regards and clear skies,

MikeG
