Hi Adam. Yes, I have a Astronomik clip to M48 adapter. I'd been imaging with my clips on a debayered 350d but recently moved to an Img2pro (to learn the ropes of CCD imaging). Rather than splash out again on Ha and OIII 1.25 filters I thought for 20 quid it was worth a shot. Turns out the adapter works brilliantly. Pop the filter in and screw on to the end of the img2pro (img2pro, variable spacer, coma corrector, clip adapter - see image). Obviously it's not as easy as using a filter wheel but it's a viable alternative if you've already invested in clip filters.

After a few years imaging I've taken the plunge and moved to CCD (QHY IMG2PRO) from DSLR. First light from last night. 4 x 10mins. No calibration (yet). Spacing is a bit off but for a first CCD image I am fairly happy. Clear skies folks :-)

Hello all. I'd been imaging with a SW150p for the past three years but wanted something with a bit more FOV. I opted for the 130pds as I could use my existing SW CC and heard great reports of its performance for AP. I've recently started doing some narrowband imaging after modding my 350d (ir/uv removal and CFA debayering). This little scope is an absolute joy Just wanted to share my efforts from the other night. Clear skies folks.

Cheers guys. Been eagerly awaiting some clear spells to test. Suppose with the UK cloud coverage at least we get to experiment and have time to complete these projects :-)
