AstroTiger Posted March 28, 2009 Share Posted March 28, 2009 Hi allI have just read with great interested, indeed i have copied the thread for reference which GazOC wrote on planetary filters.Is there anyone here who might be able to do an overall primer on these things.Use of L filters for example, UHC, OIII.These things seem to be coming down in price now, and i think it would be of great help if someone might be able to expand on all the different types of filter there are and what they are for?Many thanks in advanceAl Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ashenlight Posted June 29, 2009 Share Posted June 29, 2009 Al, I've only just noticed this. I haven't got the knowledge to do this myself, but I think it would be really helpful if someone could, if they have the time. Think you might go ahead with it? It'd be useful to know what kind of colour filters are for observing what objects, UHC OIII (I had to google these when I first started on SGL!). Perhaps not just for visual astronomy, but also for astrophotography too... be a great thread to point beginners towards. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ashenlight Posted June 29, 2009 Share Posted June 29, 2009 Gaz's primer is excellent for planetary observing, btw Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AstroTiger Posted June 29, 2009 Author Share Posted June 29, 2009 Thanks Amanda,However given the lack of response, i think it will be written but i doubt i will publish it here.Little point if no one see's it :-)Thanks again Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Beulah Posted July 2, 2009 Share Posted July 2, 2009 I found this Article on filter comparisons as I was searching SGL just now, as I was sent an Baader 0111 filter as an early birthday gift from a relative. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Andrew* Posted July 3, 2009 Share Posted July 3, 2009 I could knock somethign up...I have my own opinions on filters but I'll do my best to be as objective as possible:DIn the meantime that link just posted is an excellent resource and should be used as a guide to what filters work best for what targetsAndrew Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Andrew* Posted July 26, 2009 Share Posted July 26, 2009 I have written a primer on using visual filters. If you have anything to say about it, please let me know in this thread!Andrew Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
