I've been following a thread on an 0111 filter on that other website but when I've tried to login, it's a no go and I'm awaiting an email from their administrator so I can do so. My personal observing experience has been with 0111 filters from celestron(Baader), Thousand Oaks Optical, Zhumell, Orion, generic Chinese equivalent, and Lumicon. The Lumicon is optimum for viewing compared to the others, by far, and I'd highly recommend it as long as you can afford it. The others do work in varying degrees but are less effective in enhancing the views of responsive objects. In meantime, I did find a review of the Svbony UHC filter, including spectral analysis:

The latter is an inexpensive filter generally available on Amazon.
