Ok thanks chaps, that link to the article was a wealth of info. my meade is more use on a frac and sct than anything else but always want to get more out of my equipment. this is the tele-extender I have. maybe a f6 newt would give me the right view?

Hi, sorry if this a an obvious question, can I use a 2"meade 5000 type tele-extender with an 2" coma corrector on an F4 newt? with a QHY10, or just use the meade and crop the coma out of the image, I know meade TE are more suited to PI and SCT than newt and deep sky, but not having tried as yet, as I'm trying to reduce the size of image scale to a suitable size and gain more definition of the object in the process, with an increase of exp time that will be needed on something faint, I used the meade ok with moon imaging but no yet tried with DS objects.

I have the dsi 2 mono and it works okay with win 8.1 but the meade software is a bit clunky as always, so I use it under DSI spec and ascom in stark labs nebulosity3. I can't get it to connect under version4, I just use it for a guider but it does produce some ok images. ton

Yes I reckon so, I had a chat with you about a month ago and was still undecided about the idas, but after some research and opinions, I was looking at the optolong l-pro and skytech l-pro which are the same I think, but not many folks are using them so that tells me about them then? idas d-2 for LED light pollution which is near me, but I want it also for my mono cam as well.

Hi thankyou sir, it just came up from a search of various filter tables and never knew about it, but it sort of looks like a UHC type but narrow, I'm interested but not willing to take a leap unless some folks have positive or negative opinion on it, I'm still maybe leaning towards a idas p2 for modified OSC?

Hi, has anybody seen this filter, is this a "good" LP filter as I've never seen this type, think these are seconds from Omega filters then? do you think it blocks out too much? https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/312234297478
