Hi, it's clear and I did some tests but unfortunately, no luck! As far as I understand there are 4 possibilities here, before ff and after ff and fitting it in 2 orientations each time, every time I can clearly see halo around bright stars! I feel disappointed because it is expensive and has good reviews!

Thanks all for your help, I'll try to get some images as soon as I can and see if things changed. I saw this before but not sure what he means! shall I check or uncheck that option!

Hi all, Recently I got my new Esprit 120 telescope and I wasn't able to use it until last night because of the awful weather that we had!. Last night was clear so I managed to get some images and I noticed that there are halos around bright stars as you can see in the image. I put the filter between the field flattener and my camera when I captured these images, after some search online I read somewhere that I need to put the filter before the ff but I had no chance to test it yet. Is there any idea that may help please? The filter suppose to be good quality (very expensive) so I wasn't expecting to get any halos! This is a single image 120 sec not processed Thanks

Thanks MartinB, It may clear up tonight, if so I'll try to get more data!

That is very nice indeed!

M31 (Andromeda Galaxy) Finally, last week we had some clear nights🌘, so I did some deep sky imaging 😁 This image is about 10 hours total exposure time from a very light polluted area without LP filter! I'm trying to do a mosaic with three panels. For some reason, my guiding wasn't great, I don't like the star shape and colour!

Yes sure, I did tested it couple of times and it worked just fine.

Hi all, I've got Primaluce Lab 2" OnAxisLock Eyepiece Holder for Takahashi Telescopes (M72x1) adapter and I wanted to fit it to my esprit 150 focuser replacing the original 2" adapter. Can anyone help me find any adapter that allow me to fit them together?
