Hello;
Did an unfiltered run on BZ Uma and really like the added thruput.
This got me thinking that possibly an interferrence filter with high
transmissibility might gain a magnitude back. It seems that V filterered costs about
2 magnitudes or more. How much would a V interference filter gain over the
classic Green glass type? I know it would be expensive, but when I compare that
to the cost of increasing aperture for the same gain, it seems like it would
be very cost effective.
Anyone have thoughts? Does anyone make such filters?
