Especially the emission type.I don"t expect a "one size fits all", and i"ve been thinking about the Huetech IDAS. A new telescope store opened up just 10 miles from home, not sure that"s a good thing, and the owner suggested a Baader O111, and i thought there were for visual only. I will be using a 4" achro refractor, Canon 450D unmodded,in mag 4.5 skies at best, and will be guiding. Any ideas?

I prefer the IDAS..but have owned both and they give similar performance(REALLY good).. Good luck Post Extras:       pianoman2 super member Reged: 04/13/10 Re: A good light pollution/Nebula filter?
