Equipment specifics for planetary imaging

Hi Guys,

I have been strictly a DS imager so far. However, I have become fed up with only imaging on moonless nights, add in clouds there arn't very many of those around these days. I would like to move into planetary as well.

I have a WO FLT132 as my main scope, FL925mm. I am currently eyeing a DMK21 mono as the imaging camera. Regarding filters, I have a set of 1.25" filters from my meade DSI (which I have never used, as I use the DSI as a guide camera). I will start with those, but what filters should I be using?

Also, I would need a barlow to go with it. Should I go for the 5x televue powermate? Any other suggestions and recommendations?

Cheers,
George
