New Guy Filter Question . . .

I just purchased my first telescope. It is an Orion XT8 Dob.
I also ordered a sun filter. What other type of filters do you recommend I
get to enhance my viewing ?
Thanks in advance,
Mel

Hi Mel,

I got some webpages about the filters I use for Solar, Lunar, Planetary
and deepsky observing. Just follow this link:

http://www.backyard-astro.com/equipm...s/filters.html

There are also some useful links on these pages. If you have any
questions, please feel free to ask. My overall advice about astronomical
filters: don't be too quick spending your money. It often helps if you
first borrow them from a fellow astronomer or a local astronomy club
before you buy them.

Best regards,
