That's impressive, when and where did you take that, was it out of your back garden?

And was it using the HA filter or another type?

Whitters

The only filter used was a skylight type filter, I was just trying out the new lens before Jeanette reclaimed it and put it away for Christmas :smile:

Whitters

I plan to use Ha and try some tri-clour work with it after Santa has been.

Rocket Pooch

Well I suppose it was at least nice of Santa to let you try the lens out before the formal delivery on the 25th :smile:

Whitters

It was my first e-bay prezzie, and so it just had to be tested :grin: . it has been put away now :sad:
