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.
