Hi Folks: I've added an IR/UV filter to my FS60C system to deal with blue bloat. It does a great job on eliminating the blue bloat except it's producing some...
hmmm never run into that before, but I have used IR/UV filters screwed right into my camera (SX). I don't see any problem with it. Don't know if it will...

The Astronomik are parfocal with each other and the Halpha. I have an extremely focus sensitive scope (Tak Epsilon) and it's the only set I have found to be...
Are you using it in the 1.25" nosepiece? I attach the cfw directly to the camera, so there is no other place to put it other than the cfw rear port. In this...
