I'd have to agree with Ralph though, and for both. I have a SF 110 mm Zeiss filter and a 90 mm Questar filter, and they give a nice yellow image. But my Herschel wedge performs as well if not better with my 100 ED refractor, and presents a totally neutral uncolored image, which you filter to you personal preference (polarizer, Continuum, etc.) -------------------- Bob Yoesle You are a child of the universe, no less than the trees and the stars...
