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

Thanks Chris, it was from my back garden last night at arround 1am.

And was it using the HA filter or another type?

Whitters · Nov 17, 2003, 20:24:00

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

Whitters · Nov 17, 2003, 20:24:00

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

Rocket Pooch · Nov 17, 2003, 20:36:00

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

It was my first e-bay prezzie, and so it just had to be tested

. it has been put away now
