Hi All,
Was wondering if anyone has yet to review the new Baader J/C or Sloan filters? Im just getting into Photometry and want to practice with some filters and with all the confusion with filters going on right now, I dont mind waiting until the dust settles to buy. But I would like to get something that I can practice with and learn. Not afraid getting into calculations, and actually looking forward to it. My filtersdrawer is 2 in mounted. I dont know if I should spent the $700 for a Chroma Johnson V, or if I can use a G filter to practice until the dust settles, or will the Baaders be a good permanet, and much cheaper option? Im just starting out, read a couple books and AAVSO guide on photometry, got an idea why the filters are used, but need to put things in practice to get a better understanding. Again I dont mind waiting for the filter debate and supply to settle, my goal is to just get learning at the least expensive price. Thanks in advance!

I too would love to learn from a fellow amateur astronomer who would be willing to share experiences on this matter and propose a feasible path for beginners to learn about astrophotometry, while avoiding the expenditure of buying a filter that might prove not to be the best choice for the future in this activity.
I have the latest Baader filters. And I'm currently in the Photometry class. I'll let you know my results as I develop them!
I'll be looking forward to learning from your experiences, Matt. Thank you.
