Subject: L-RGB filter recommendations?

I was hoping I could prevail upon you good folks once again to make a suggestion regarding 

an L-RGB filter set.  I will have both the time and dark skies over the summer to try my hand 

at color imaging and processing  - with my primary goal being planetary although I'll try 

multiple objects for sure.  My imaging efforts thus far have all been devoted to solar and I'm 

enjoying Astro IIDC so much that I've decided to "branch-out".

I'll have access to both a DMK21AF04.AS and a PGR Flea2 monochrome camera and I own a 

manual Atik filter wheel (currently used for multi-mag).  I'd appreciate recommendations on a 

1.25" mounted filter set "brand" and whether or not I should get RGB filters with IR/UV cut 

built in, separate clear IR/UV cut (luminance) filter (or both), etc..  I'm new at this and a little 

uncertain about how best to match spectral characteristics of filters with the sensors I'm 

using in my cameras....  Any advice most appreciated.

thanks
