I tried a baader 685 filter last night so here is my first image with it, looks encouraging, 4 pane mosiac

Very nice mosaic. nice and sharp

The filters do make a big difference. Nice shot. Which scope were you using for it?

[Stardust]

It was on my Meade 127 triplet, I was concerned that it would be too small an aperture to take one of these filters but was fine. I took note of previous comments and held back on the sharpening and contrast for a more natural look. Was hard I kept thinking " just a little sharper"  but was strong.

It is round the wrong way though ;-) Agree the sharpening side of things can be tough. If doing close ups, I usually dial really close to the image to see what effect the sharpening is happening to the overall image low down. I managed to get out last night, but still moving the 60 odd GB of data over to the processing machine!

Mare Crisium, not sure which barlow as I just trying thing out last night

[Blazar]

Very nice. I did a silly thing last night and did a x3 mosaic of Mare Crisium.....good focus you got on that one, and some nice processing ;-)
