Is the coatings on the Lumicon sealed in like the coatings on
the Astronomiks. I have an Astronomiks UHC brought on the
advice of JB here. Have tried several other brands but not
enough to give you a well informed impression, mostly because
it was a while ago and I wouldn't want to quote from my memory.
But it could be a deciding factor... the durability of the coatings.

PS: I have to admit I only really use my UHC filter on maybe 2-3
objects. The Swan & Eta Carina Neb's and maybe M42 when there's
a bit of moon about. Apart from it's mainly used to locate tiny
planetaries with in a field of stars... like in M46 but smaller
