Buying just 1 filter (for now)
Hi all,
Just getting my stuff organised for imaging DSOs and obviously want to be able to extend my shooting season each month. I figure starting out I can put some money down for a filter to help with this. After many many hours of research into LPS and UHC filters I think I will avoid them in the first instance.
My plan is this -
spend a little bit more money on a good quailty v. Narrowband Ha filter rather than trying to squeeze two out for now or spending money on a middle road solution such as lps or uhc.
On dark (new moon/moon set in evening) nights I can go out to a dark sky area for straight up rgb imaging (non modded canon 70d), and can image the Ha on other nights closer to home.
Going with the Ha to complement my camera as obviously is doesn't pass as much red due to IR cut, so even though the Ha will not be as good as it would with a modded camera I can still get something to boost my reds in the rgb images.
Does this sound like a reasonable start up idea?
