Cyclops Optics in Hong Kong have a range of multispectral filters that might suit:

Got my 48mm CLS (Optolong) and a UV/IR in from a guy in PRC for all of $74 posted - and it took 4 days to get here.

Can't complain about that - it's about 3/4 the price of the local dealers.

And unless your scope is ultra fast, get the 1.25" version and save a packet :thumbsup:

Spot on.

I got the 2" just to be sure on my f/5 refrac - maybe did not need to, but what the heck at that price.

@f/4 you should still be OK with the 1.25"...I've used my 1600 with a Canon f/4 lens wide open and didn't see any obvious vignetting. Just make sure your filter wheel is right in front of the camera and any spacers are scope side.

Should add the Baader Moon & Skyglow, a bit pricier than the Chinese sourced filters but works very well and can be sure of the quality.
