Nebulae Filter was created by wellbuttie
Grettings all,
Just got delivery of a WO Megrez 90 today... well contructed bit of kit, to be used for Widefield Observing and photography.
Quick question.... Can anyone recommend a good all rounder Nebula Filter primarily for Visual use. I am looking at a variety of UHC type ones, however, would they be too drastic for this 90mm refractor?
If any are suitable, what brands would you consider to be the best "bang for buck"?
Thanks

Programming today is a race between software engineers striving to build bigger and better programs, and the universe trying to produce bigger and better idiots. So far, the universe is winning.

I can put a vote in for the Baader UHC-S, it shows nebulae such as M57 and M27 really well.

Try looking for a second hand lumicon UHC filter on astromart, they go fast but are cheaper then a new one.
They're easier on the scope then a O3, but still filter out enough to be quite useful.
