Primary Recommendation

Dual-band (Ha/OIII)

Dual-band provides good LP rejection while keeping integration times reasonable.

UV/IR Cut (if skies are good)L-Pro/L-Enhance

Filter Guide

Broadband (L/RGB/UV-IR Cut): Best for dark skies, galaxies, and natural star colors.

Dual-band (L-eXtreme, etc.): Great for color cameras in light-polluted skies on emission nebulae.

Narrowband (Ha/OIII/SII): Ideal for mono cameras or aggressive LP rejection on emission targets.
