The Orion Skyglow gets good reports too and is much cheaper so I may try that for myself. |
Hi Tony,
I don't observe DSO's under light polluted skies, consequently I don't use any "broadband filters". I do own the Sirius Optics Contrast Enhancement filter that Peter mentioned. I haven't used it in at least 8 years.
However, I can pass on some worthwhile information. My friend and US astronomy author Phil Harrington did a filter review for Astronomy magazine in 2004 or 2005. Suffice to say Phil rated the Orion Skyglow as "the pick of the crop" on an overall basis over about 6 other broadband filters, including the DGM VHT (the original name) and the Lumicon Deep Sky. The fact that it is reasonably priced is an added bonus.
Cheers,
John B
