The 3 x 2” Ep’s would be good as an introduction to 2” for a beginner still using the plossls that came with his/her scope.
The NPB is just a little dark for me. Probably personal preference but I have a O111 on the way so will try that instead. PM if interested.
That DGM filter is a cracker. I have the 2". I remember reading all these rave reviews about it on Cloudy Nights when I decided to buy one a few years ago. You're right though it is dark...sorry for hijacking!
Yeah, I'm still fairly new at this so I think I need the background to be brighter as I tend to get lost with it quite easily. I bought it when I had my 6" and I think it was mental who told me that it may not perform too well in the small aperture so I held onto it. Still very dark in my 12". They do get good reviews though.
