Hi guys,

I'm looking at purchasing my first mono camera soon and would like some recommendations for SHO filters.

I've been looking at the Baader Ultra-NB CMOS Optimised 4nm or Antlia Edge 4.5nm filters as these fit within my budget (around £600-£650 for the set of 3).

I just wanted to know if anybody has any experience with these and can share their thoughts on how they perform, if they have significant halos etc.

I'm also open to other suggestions around this price point.

Thanks in advance.

I used both brands and I would highly recommend Antlia.
