I was wondering what the general consensus is regarding filters for these type of binoculars; is it better to have a filter in one eyepiece only or should both be filtered?
I was thinking of getting 1.25" filters to screw into the barrel of the eyepieces.
I'm right eye dominant so if i only filter one eyepiece, should it be the dominant eye or non-dominant eye?
On a separate note, I'm also thinking of getting a H-Beta filter (2"). Any recommendations for brand? Was thinking of using Omega Optics (same guys that make the NPB filters for DGM) but can't see anything on their website for H-Beta...
Omega Filters
thanks

I have a 81mm Vixon Binocular telescope with interchangeable eyepieces(1.25") barrels 12 mm and 25mm.
I use Lumicon UHC filters and get very good results with them on large nebula(veil neb and Tarrantula etc
I think the O111 filters are a little dark and there isn't a lot of objects to view with O111 in such small optical aid.
There are only a couple of objects also for H-Beta filters and again 4"/100mm is a bit small to get any decent observations with that filter.

Also you may want to buy some solar filter material and make some filters.
The sun is much more 3 dimensional with two eyes.
