A mono cam and RGB filters help a bit if you refocus between filters, but I noticed the blue channel was still bloated. Maybe with a Semi-Apo filter it would have been better. In narrow band they work fine.
Without sounding like a complete novice, can you explain what narrow band is and what's involved in it ?
