OIII filter & bits

Hello again all. This cloud is killing me it's just seems to go on an on day after day. I was in WA last weekend and by the looks of the forecast I may just have missed Brisbane's best nights. Sorry, I'm going off topic...

I want to buy a OIII filter for my Guen Sheng 10" DOB.

Now firstly, do I want a 1.25" or 2" or does my scope have the capability to take either?

Secondly, I'm looking at either Andrews 2" at $99 or the 1.25" at 59,

or the Televue 2" at $180 (TeleVue Bandmate OIII 2 Inch Telescope Filter) or even the TeleVue Bandmate NebuStar Filter - 2 Inch. To be frank I don't have a clue what the difference between them all is but I want to look at Nebulas!

I also want a t-ring to attach my camera to my scope. I'm aware the scope's probably not the best for this but I'd just like to take a snap or two.

I'm picking up some 10 x 50 Nikon a211 binos. tomorrow - which I'm excited about.

But you all know that I've just wrecked the Brisbane skies for the next few months.

Thanks in advance for your words of wisdom
