Does anyone have experience with the MisAl Optics filters? I'm particularly interested in their Broadband Nebula / LPR Filter. This is an inexpensive LPR filter and certainly fits my fairly modest Astronomy budget.

I have no experience with this brand, but, IMHO, broadband nebula filters are a waste of money. They dim everything just about equally, making the view without the filter better.

Instead, I'd look at getting a narrowband filter. I believe Orion has their UltraBlock on sale now, which would be a much better buy.

Please be cognizant that these filters don't use glass but plastic perhaps why they're inexpensive. No idea how they peform however ;-).
