I am looking at the GSO OIII filter due to price. Anyone know about the concerns of imaging and OIII filters?

Visually you are able to view some planetary nebulae very clearly with an Oiii from dark skies so it does make a big difference on some objects. In my experience imaging with an Oiii from the burbs requires a clear night and no moon. Unlike Ha or Sii, Oiii will suffer from LP and skyglow but it's better than nothing.
