Been spending again.......

[GazOC]

While you guys were topping up your tans in sunny Wales I got the buying "itch" (ie I was half cut waiting for the boxing to come on!) and ordered a O3 and a UHC filter. I'll let you know how I get on, it seems like everytime a get a few extra quid in my bank account I feel the need to spend it on Astro gear????

That reminds me ...

I took several Baader filters to the SGL Star Meet with a view to testing them.  As you know, we had cloudy skies both nights! 

If you, or any other of the admin/mod team would like to borrow the following filters to review, please PM me:

Neodymium (Moon & Skyglow)

Fringe Killer

UHC-S Nebula

OIII

Steve/James,

I've got the Baader O3 and UHC-S on the way, they are half the price of Lumicons. We'll have to compare notes James...

I think you do need a bit a aperture to use them, is that right Steve?

Yes, except for the Neodymium which is still useful on smaller aperture scopes (probably why it is the most popular).

I'm in the lucky position of having a no light polution and (i hope!) enough aperture!
