Will these be OK to image under moonlight, or, am I going to have to contend with gradients/background issues?

Of course narrower will be better, and I've since switched to Astrodons, but I think you can still achieve great results with those Baader filters.
Here are a couple of SHO images taken with those filters from the middle of sydney, and I don't even check the moon phase when imaging from here as it doesn't really make any difference with the amount of LP I have to deal with...
