Hi all,

I have an 8" Dob, and I recently bought an OIII filter hoping that I would see some improvement in views of nebulae (Orion, Eta Carinae, etc.) I must say I have been a little disappointed. The filter just seemed to make the overall view darker with a slight blueish tinge. Was I expecting too much, or is my scope not up to producing significant results with the oIII ?

Thanks,
