(meteorobs) For Jupiter meteor flash telescope - should I use filters?

WOW fascinating. My intuition tells me that spectrographic imaging, not
geometric imaging would be the best way to detect activity. If both can be
done at the same time, all the better.

Subject: (meteorobs) For Jupiter meteor flash telescope - should I use
filters?

I have begun to monitor Jupiter for meteor flashes using a 10" SCT telescope
recording to video.

I am wondering if anyone has advice or thoughts regarding possible filters.
At the moment I am not using any filtering. It might seem like infrared
would be useful but maybe it wouldn't be?  Not sure.

Any suggestions or tips for optical detection of meteors striking Jupiter
are welcome and I am thanking you in advance.
