+1 on the previous comment.

Also L-extreme is amazing for bringing out the Ha and Oiii complement of emission nebula. Especially effective when imaging in the suburbs or with full moon with an OSC as it does a great job cutting out light pollution. But do a bit of research on the nebula you plan to shoot as it will eliminate most of any reflection nebula and will not give good results there (eg m20). It is also not advised to use it for galaxies or star /glob clusters as these emit light over a broad spectrum. You will get weird colours unless you combine it with some rgb data later.

For these it’s best to use a broadband light pollution filter or just uv/Ir block filter, and try not to shoot toward moon or city light glow.
