I live in suburban melbourne, near Southland Shopping Centre, so the sky is quite bright. Perhaps that will have an impact on which to choose.

So, i welcome comment on what would be the "best" option for the LPS filter for an ED80.

well, Ted from hutech has emailed to tell me that they will not have of the IDAS 2" LPS filters in until mid-december, so i guess that rules out the IDAS. Pity, because for some reason i had my heart set on that (excepting any advice given by forum members).


So, now I have to consider the Astronomik filters mentioned above.
Any thoughts on the best for light-polluted skies + ED80 as mentioned

That also leaves the purchase of the field flattener/reducer and the guidescope.

cheers,
