Hi All,

For anyone who's interested, I did a comparison of filters last night, using my 130mm newtonian. The Orion skyglow filter does improve the visibility of Jupiter's cloud bands. However, a blue #80A filter (available from BinTel for $15) seemed to give a greater improvement to the view. I'm looking forward to testing this 80A filter during the next favourable GRS transit, which occurs Sunday night at about 9:30 pm.

Cheers,
Stephen
