I couldn't find it in here, but did I read some where about reflections pertaining to the filter glass in the noise piece of the QHY8? If I want to do RGB with the camera, do I need to use the UV/IR glass or can I take it out and just use the extension on the front of the nose piece with out the UV/IR glass and the MPCC? If I'm using a reflector, how does this affect my images in respect to star bloat/bleeding, UV or IR saturation? I have a 1.25 inch filter wheel that I'm gonna use(loss of field, vignetting, etc all understood already) with Ha, OIII & SII filters, so I don't need UV/IR for those, do I? Would it pay to use my 1.25" UV/IR filter in the filter wheel to capture a bit of RGB to go with my narrow band images?
This is a great thread for the QHY8. Maybe we should make it a sticky, moderators?
