Spacing that works well for the Ha filter doesn't always do so well with the other filters. Things get tricky at the focal ratios where I have been playing!

Thanks Rick. I think I have another 0.5-2mm that I need to add then. I'm pretty close but I'd like to get it as close as possible. As my Astrodons are all 3mm thick I wouldn't have thought that different filters would cause issues. I have done some RGB imaging and my only "issue" seemed to be blue bloat at F/4... Along with tilt caused by my mounting

Might get a clear night on Wednesday night to do some playing.
