Subject: suggestions for filter wheel problem?

Hi all,

I ran into a problem last night during imaging (even though seeing was poor).  I'm using a manual filter wheel and I forget what filter is in what position when I change filters.  For the planets, the time lost here isn't a good thing.  I was thinking of painting the top of each position on the wheel with glow in the dark paint with the name of the filter.  I am also, although reluctantly due to the cost, thinking of switching to a motorized filter wheel.  

I would appreciate any suggestions or tips. 

Thanks,

Eric
