I'm reaching out to my fellow Lunar photographers or anyone with good knowledge of Lunar Photography. My question is: What is a good filter for photographing the Moon? What part of the light spectrum is wanted and unwanted to achieve the best results?

I just purchased a C11 for this project and will be using the ZWO 462 and ZWO 432 mono cameras. In the past with my 9.25 SCT, I used the Optolong UV/IR Cut filter. Is this good enough?

Any thoughts or suggestions?

Thanks!

The UV/IR cut is always a good choice. Another interesting option is an IR pass. These filters usually open up at around 800nm and are very useful for calming the seeing so that even though you are loosing resolution you can often get a sharper result. Actually, an narrowband Ha filter will do that too so if you have one, it's worth a try as well.
