my Stellarvue Chroma filter (MV2, which I designed for Vic Maris)

From your Stellarview filter review: I employed a special approach and sent this curve to Vic

Can you post what that curve was that you suggested?  I'm wondering how similar it looks to the Baader Semi APO curve in dark blue below:

I have that one, and it does a good job of avoiding adding a yellow cast to the image.  However, it doesn't suppress all the unfocused violet and none of the unfocused red.

I've found a Hirsch #12A Light Yellow and a Hirsch #82B Light Blue (Cyan) combine for a yellow-green view that suppresses pretty much all of the unfocused violet and red and really sharpens up planetary views without darkening the image too much like a #11 Green or especially a #56 Green does.  I recently picked up an X0 Yellow-Green filter, and it looks promising as well.
