Long answer is that most people end up with a pile of filters, used somewhere between sometimes and never!

Im with Erick on this.
- Coloured filters - Tried them once, didnt do much for me. Taking up space in my eyepiece case now.
- Variable polariser - Cuts the brightness, but by throwing away light you throw away ability to see the finest of details. I traded mine for a ronchi ep.
- Green moon filter - ergh!!!
- UHC filter - useful for teasing extra detail from nebula. Amount of use that it gets its relating how much I can bothered screwing filters on and off as i change eyepiece, ie not much. If i got hold of a nice filter slide I might invest in a 2" OIII filter.
