TV85 and OIII filter

Hi, I'm interested in TV85 owners opinions of OIII filters. Specifically, are images too dim given the limited aperture? Also, does anyone have experience with the 2" OIII filter being sold by the binoscope company on Astromart?
Thanks
Jim

Hi, Jim:

I can't help you on the TV85, as I own a 12.5 dob, but if you're looking for the best Oxy III 2", the Astronomik is the way to go. It is roughly the same price as all the others, and on Cloudy Nights and in other forums it has outperformed all others, especially in smaller scopes.

Hope this helps,
