Filters
In the good old days when I used film all my lenses had a UV or
Skylight filter on the front. This was really to protect the lens front element from getting damaged. Is it still adviseable to do the same thing when using a digital camera? Should I still install a UV or Skylight filter? Or will this degrade the digital image?

No it won't - and there is no difference optically between the two types of camera. I always protect the lens of my photo optics - but, oddly, never have for my scopes!

Yes, you should! Protect the lens and filter out the haze. Just don't bother with a "warming" filter - you can fix all that with white balance or in your editing program.
