I am new to astronomy and would like to know anyones advice on the first filter to purchase for DSO viewing. I have an Orion 10" f4.7 DOB. I have heard a Narrowband filter first then a Broadband filter. Any suggestions?

Thanks,

Mike

Either the Lumicon UHC or the Orion Ultrablock would be your best bet... 8)
Then, after that, a Lumicon O-III... for a secondary filter... wink
