Hello,

Finally ordered a heq5 syntrek and 200pds, 2mths in waiting and cant wait. Whilst waiting managed to mod my Phillips webcam for LX and amp off, make a cable so I can control mount with laptop(stellarium)and my best friend ever has gave me a good deal on a canon 10d. Also have a x3 barlow(x2 on the way)the standard 25 wide angle lens, a 10mm and 5mm plossl. Im eventually going to mod the finderscope to receive the webcam for tracking but thats in near future. Anyhow, my first point of target is going to be the orion nebula in-particular the horses head and NGC2024 the flame(probably optimistic i know)and I would consider this money well spent. Im just wandering what filter is best suited to this task(if any)and in general for both DSO's and Planetry observing is there an all round filter that suits these tasks, as, as the song goes 'moneys to tight to mention'. Thanks guys.
