I have both sets of filters, needed to try these, no special reason. I have a color filter wheel which contains the RGB and Ha filters. Will try them out next time. I looked on the internet and they were discussing the CMY and RGB differences, seems that the CMY filters provide more "detail" imaging??

Tried to call you, number changed.
