SkyWatcher or Castell O111 filter for visual?

[RikM]

I'm after a 1.25" O111 filter to help make planetaries etc. pop out in my moderately LP'ed skies. I think one of the wider bandpass ones will suit me better but which to go for?

Any advice greatly appreciated.

moonshane did a review on the castell in 2" and rated it very highly, i also viewed some nebula`s through it on the big dob at psp and can vouch for it

I have the 2'' Skywatcher version and although i have nothing to compare it to it works well for me.

It is Shane's enthusiasm for the Castell filter that steers me towards that one. But I don't know 365 Astronomy as suppliers?

With the SkyWatcher, I have their LPR filters in 1.25" and 2" and they do what they are supposed to. I know I can buy them from FLO in absolute confidence.

There is no difference in price once you factor that you need to pay extra for the box for the Castell??? And in truth I don't much care, it's the wider bandpass I am after, sort of halfway to a UHC if that makes sense.
