Now there are just three weeks to go before our planned astro-trip to the Canary Islands. Last weekend we had a meeting to discuss practical issues. During the meeting my friend informed me that he had bought a H-beta filter, and asked me if he should take it with him.
Of course, the filter is small, and doesn't represent any extra weight worth mentioning. However, I have to admit that I don't know about any objects in the summer sky where this filter is of any use. Any suggestions in the milky way from Sagittarius to Cygnus?
We have both O-III and UHC filters, and look forward to using them along with all our Naglers, Panoptics and Radians. But the H-beta is new to me, and the only objects I know about where this filter is of any use, are the Horsehead and California nebulae.
