   I have one of the early Globuscopes....#82 of the first 100.
I am ready to upgrade to a 120 model and am considering selling it.
Yes you can use filters... I just tape a large 77mm to the front of the 
outer case and it seems to work just fine.
If you are interested drop me a email and we can discuss.
