Filters and Visual Observing...

Hi,

It seems like there are a lot more filters than there used to be. I guess that free enterprise loves a void!

Are any of you using filters for casual viewing? If so, what do you favor? Are you mounting the filters before or after the diagonal? I guess I am mainly interested in nebula filters or contrast enhancing filters. I view in two extreme situations. I am either in a city environment with miserable light polution or I am on vacation and in a dark sky area... not much in between for me.

Any tips or pointers to web site links appreciated.

Thanks,

Paul
