I have a similar filter on the way and have just taken delivery of a Baader OIII. The comparisons with the Lumicon will be interesting.
Last Friday night was reasonable observing so the OIII was attached to the 32 mm for a look at NGC2070 (the Tarantula). God, I'd hate to live there. Presented a very scary picture with the filter that I was totally unprepared for. Eta Carinae's dark lanes were greatly accentuated as was the overall nebulosity.
All in all, a very worthwhile spend.
Should add that Saturn was marvellous viewing as well. Three moons very much in evidence.
Mark.
