I was thinking about trying this tonight. Rare nice weather today. I have a question about the proper filter if any. I have a 2" Orion Imaging Filer (light pollution) and a 1 1/4" Lumicon UHC filter.

I think the UHC might make the images green since it's more narrow band right???

Planning to use an 80mm f/6.25 Refractor, field flattener and the 50D.

Any thoughts/suggestions much appreciated.
