I am imaging tonight with the OIII Baader filter in. Beautiful imaging!

That sounds like a cunning plan my good man...

So you would go Astrodon over Baader? And when you say PRICEY, what are we looking at and from where does one acquire such a filter?

Thanks Slawomir
Sorry to hear that the filter still does not work properly.

As for your question- Astrodon all the way. I bought mine directly from the manufacturer, just google "Astrodon filters". Was previously using Astronomik 12nm filters, they are very good, but not nearly as effective in increasing S/N ratio as 3nm from Astrodon.

P.S. Have you considered acquiring an electric filter wheel? I know...the plan is getting better and better...
