Narrowband filters will offer even better contrast, however you need different filters for different objects........ and they arn't cheap !

Anyone got any impressions of these Baader Neodymium filters (on sale at "telescope planet"). Seem really cheap and show good results. To good to be true?

Better that old people should die of talk than to have young people die in war.

The Neodymium is a moon and skyglow filter, which is fine if that's what you want but only improves contrast across the normal spectrum compared to an unfiltered view. If you're looking for a true narrowband filter in the Baader catalog then what you need is either the general use UHC-S Nebula Filter (Ha, Hb, OIII) or the more specific O-III Narrowband Filter.
