Really??......

Good grief !!!

Until very recently I had just the Astronomik O-III and was quite content.

No Omega DGM NBP on your list though so thats a possibility. I've just bought one and it's very impressive

[ghostdance]

Surely we have a badge for this? That's some collection, Dave!

Your next task: Stack em, every one! There'll be *some* light loss, granted but....enquiring minds need to know

[Polar Bear]

I have an SCT fit Celestron UHC/LPR filter. But it is a very nice Celestron UHC/LPR filter

Something tells me if I did stack all of these, aimed my scope at the Moon - I'd go down in the history books as the discoverer of the PHASER. I'd look in the eyepiece - and vanish in a puff of smoke.

You first,

Dave

How about a custom made filter-wheel to put them all in ... ? ... that way there might be a slim chance of one or two of them actually being used ... 

[mikeyrea]

Ever thought about opening an astronomy shop?

[Special K]

Wow, that's an arsenal!!! You've said before that you're a bona fide filter nut and now I can see why! Nice collection, seriously.

How about the TV Planetary just for kicks?!

[hobsey]

I think you should do your own filter guide/comparison with that collection.

[rowan46]

you haven't got a cloud filter personally I think its the one essential in any astronomers arsenal

[russ.will]

 Any idea for 

Any idea for my next one?

Yes; Flog 2/3 of them and buy an 80mm wide field Apo with change to spare? Just putting it out there...

Bloomin heck Dave that's some collection . My sole purchase today of a Baader Solar Continuum kinda pales into insignificance against yours. But I'm looking forward to using it, of course when the snow finally disappears and the Sun puts in an appearance  .
