3. Az-EQ6 mount
I have been doing some reading and seems aperture of 300mm or more is desired, I have (234mm'ish) and if influences which IR pass to buy. Also which planet you are targeting requires a different IR pass bandwidth. I was also further confused when coming across Red + IR pass filter (R + IR), are they the same as a IR pass, totally different or two filters stacked.
So my question is, which IR Pass or R+IR Pass filter/s is/are best to purchase? I am sold on Baader UV Pass, just would like the advice of those with far more experience and expertise!
Many thanks for your time!
Clear skies,
Brendan.

with the camera you have, which is colour, i'm not sure you require any filters. IR and UV etc are usually done on mono cameras. so you're good to go as is
perhaps if anything a simple CCD light pollution filter will be fine for you.
