As I said Phil Harrington rates it as the best Narrowband/UHC type filter he has ever used. I have a copy of a review Phil did on 25 different filters and the DGM NPB filter came out very very favourably. Unfortunately I can't be much more specific than that because the article has not gone to print and will do so in a future issue of an American Astronomy Magazine. The DGM NPB is very cheap and very good. Failing that if you want a top class excellent filter I would get the Astronomiks OIII from Bintel followed by the Astronomiks UHC from Bintel. If you are budget conscious I would get the Orion Ultrablock from Joe O'neil in Canada

We purchased a DGM NPB 2" & 1.25" Filter. The 2" was purchased on John's recommendation and it is our most used filter. We also have a Astronomik UHC 1.25 filter, but we have very rarely used it since getting the DGM'S
In our opinion you would be very happy with one of these filters.

OOOPS, Sorry Houghy because of the above post by Mark I thought this was a current thread. Hope you ended up with a DGM.
