Can you stack filters?

Hi folks. Clear sky all night  I have a Baader neodymium and some colour filters for visual use. Would using the Baader with a colour have a positive effect or is it best used solo?

Its good fun experimenting stacking with different filter combinations but at the end of the day I don't believe colour filters are of much use. Many will disagree but filters do nothing but dim the image and colour it. I hardly use my filters but in the past I have found the blue 80A does sometimes seem to marginally  improve surface details on Jupiter and Saturn. Its a individual preference, every ones eyes are a little different, use what works for you.

I had the 80A on Jupiter last night, I quite liked it but not sure if it actually improved the view. The neodymium seemed to tease out a little more detail. Together they just made the image too dark.
