Lumicon International, a Division of Parks Optical has granted permission to copy this information on using various filters. I have split a page from their web site into two parts:

    Deep Sky - O-III, H-B and other deep sky filters

    Planetary - How to use various color filters to bring out specific planetary features.

Other than splitting their page into two parts, I have not changed anything except adding a note "Used with permission." You will have to use the Back button on your browser to get back to this page.
