Yes, I got mine from DGM too, no probs (1.25" version). It works very well, and it is quite impressive to see nebula appear from the murky skies, but once I got over the initial excitement, I haven't really used it very much. It is best for cutting out light pollution around nebulae, but I don't bother to observe much deep sky from the back yard. I rather drive to dark skies, where I usually prefer the views without the filter. I do use it for one purpose though, under dark skies: to distinguish between nebulosity and unresolved star fields, usually around the LMC.
