Filters - do I need both 2" and 1.25"

Hi all,

This maybe a silly question but I don't know the answer.

Ok I know that you mount 1.25" filters on the end of the eyepiece. Check

But I want to get a OIII filter for viewing and to help with taking astropix. I currently use 1.25" eyepieces.

So the question is do I need to buy both a 1.25" and 2" ?

Is there some sort of adaptor that would allow me to just get 2" filters ?

And finally. Where do I actually mount the 2" filter anyway when doing photography word. Since there is no eyepiece to attach it to

Scope is a Meade LXD75 SN 10".

Cheers !
