Well, I`m not looking forward to when my "new kit" arrives from the states... I`m expecting snow/hail/locusts/brimstone AND a full moon...

Cheers mate

I have tried to minimise the problem by having it shipped to Cambridge (work), rather than home.... so hopefully the clouds will be slightly more east than usual

I have an ASTRONOMIK CLS Filter and it showed more stars in the globular M13 than without it. It's actually a general purpose "deep sky" filter, enhancing nebulae and stars alike; I can't give you a precise figure on enhancement.

I'm aware that some folk here on the forum don't rate the Baader Neodymium, but I have to say I have been very impressed with it's performance. I have the 2" and tend to screw it into the draw-tube. I have 2x pics that I should like to leave as eg's. No processing other than to save as jpegs, so see for yourself-exposures are about the same taken one after the other.

Thats's quite an amazing diffrence between those images. I also have the same filter but have never found it make much diffrence. In saying that, a lot of the street lights in Edinburgh have been changed from the old Sodium ones to whiter lights so that may be why.

I will also be buying a CLS/UHC-s filter shortly so will keep watching this thread with interest!
