Striker,
if Ice got 5 filter for $40 then my idea is a waste of time.
They are however 1.25", and you were after 2", so try this as well as pricing the "real" thing.
2" astro filters are actually 48mm, and this is an older but still available camera filter size. Whether the quality is good enough is up to you, but I reckon it will be. Try an older camer shop, the one with staff that remember filters. You may find a bargain or two, and even second hand ones will do.
I use an orange one in front of my bino viewer for lunar viewing.
Regards,
Gary
