Don't skimp on the price, if you go cheap than you will buy twice.. I recommend Baader, Astronomik or Lumicon...

yeah, baader is great, a lot of my filters are baader and I'm very happy with them... baader has a very good reputation among amateur astronomers too.

I recall that on the CN site it was said that Baader made the Celestron filter, as in very little difference. Could be worth digging a little deeper;

Down at the end is the Celestron filter in its case, the opened up detail accompanying it say Baader on it.

Mind you the CNer's didnt rate either overly great.  Never seem able to win at times.

What Scope will this be used with?

Orion US Ultrablock is a very good UHC filter.

If you have an SCT. They make a dedicated filter that screws to the visual back.

1.25 filters. I have a Baader UHCS that is very good, and good value.

I got my Astronomik UHC for under £60 second hand. Worth keeping an eye on the classifieds and AstroBuySell

+1 for both the Orion USA Ultrablock and the Astronomik UHC - used OR new. They're excellent filters.

I have a Lumicon one. It has the following specifications;

O III 496nm  92%

O III 501nm. 91%

Hydrogen-beta 486nm 91%

The SW UHC works for me.
