Just like to resurrect this thread as I am thinking of getting a filter for Xmas! I have only had my scope a few months (GS-680) and have enjoyed observing Saturn and recently Jupiter the most. However, I feel these were washed out because they were too bright and thus I think a pair of polarising filters would be good. If this is true then is there much variation in the quality of this type of filter. For example, at the lower end Andrews has them for $15 each? I prefer to buy once rather than buy cheap and then upgrade later. Having said that I don't think at my level I need the Rolls Royce solution if that is a few hundred dollars.
