Which set of narrow band filters is better Astrodon or Astronomik (or Schuler??)
Consider I need both LRGB and narrow band ans it is going to be used for deep sky imaging with the following:
Tak TOA 130, Starlight Xpress SXVH9 ccd camera.
There is quite a price difference between the two, so any advice would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks.
Joe.

Hi Joe,
I had the Astronomiks but I sold them because they caused reflection halos around stars with my camera. I replaced the RGBL with Astrodon Gen2 filters and they are great. I replaced the Narrow Band filters with Baader and I am quite happy with them too. I have heard the Baader RGBL are quite good too, but I have not tried them. The Baader Filters do cost less.
