Everyone is saying different things about the filter. So should I get the lumicon OIII or Orion Ultra-block? The 14" does not have a 2" focuser. When Keith...
So, you have a 14" scope? Well, reviewing the notes I've taken over the years using a 16" scope (close to the 14") I almost always use the Lumicon OIII 1-1/4"....

You got me on this one. I've never seen vdB 38 aka Sharpless 2-263. At 20'x16' it's quite large with very low SB. Being large I suspect it would be a challenge...

Wow! Even on the POSS plates that nebulosity is wispy around vdB 38! And with that star right smack dab in the middle it will be tough. I am going to give it...
