Astronomik CLS-CCD or alternatives


Hi,

I’ve just moved to a really light polluted area and am in need of a filter/filters to help me out. I’m imaging through a GSO RC8 and QHY9 mono. I intend to shoot both nebulae and galaxies.

The way I see it so far is to use either an Astronomik CLS-CCD to replace my L filter or go down the narrowband route (Ha, OIII, SII). Has anyone had good results with other CCD light pollution filters?

The thing is I still want to be able to shoot galaxies and from what I’ve read narrowband won’t help out at all here. Correct me if I’m wrong but narrowband is more for nebulae isn’t it?

I guess another alternative would be to get a Ha filter for nebulae and use it as my L and just sick it up for galaxies.

What is the best thing to do in this circumstance?

Cheers,
Angus.
