Camera help?

Does anyone know about cameras?  For Christmas, I received a text from my mom that my dad would like a piece for his camera.  I’ll put the entire text because I don’t understand it:

“Your dad needs SBIG for his CCD 8300 ST camera for telescope.  These are 36 mm filters.  He has red, green, blue, and clear.  Others have weird names like OI something.  He needs one he doesn’t have.”

Does that mean anything to anyone?  My dad’s the only person I would know who could answer this and clearly I’m trying to avoid asking him since it’s his gift. :)

A view of the lunar eclipse from Japan’s northernmost main island of Hokkaido on Aug. 28, 2007. The Earth’s shadow crept across the moon’s surface slowly eclipsing it and turning it to shades of orange and red during second total lunar eclipse this year.
