Hi all. Just have a question I need some help with. I have purchased a QHY8 from a fellow IIS'er and noticed it came only with an IR glass cover. I am also aware that they came with a clear glass cover also, however I don't have that. I have used IR filters with a webcam to get good colour when doing planetary shots, but not sure when to use it with the QHY8

I do not plan using the QHY for planet shots only deep space. Do I then assume I would be better getting a clear Glass filter to protect the CCD and not use the IR filter? Or is it still some use for some or all deep space objects.
