Oops no IR filter

[Stub Mandrel]

As a beginner myself, here's a word of advice to others starting out on planetary imaging - get an IR filter./ even a cheap one will make a big difference to what you get. On 30 June I had the best seeing for Saturn I've had so far, but forgot the filter. The resultiunbg pictures are my sharpest yet, but the colour is 'orrible, even after scything back the red channel.

Without IR filter

With IR Filter:

Not all the useful gear is expensive!

Thanks for the advice. I plan to get one when I purchase a new Zwo camera.
