Nice one Mike. It'll be interesting to see the results. My type 11B astronomiks are fairly low reflection to start with but I do see the odd reflection halo around bright stars.
Yes but these are meant to be even better...we'll see...the ASA was supposed to be a cracker too

I take it the filters came with spacers so they fit in the CFW 5/7?
It is the CFW-2-7 that I have and yes Gerd will supply spacers if you ask and he did for me.

Are the edges blackened? If not a bit of texta does the trick and it is well worth doing per Richard Crisp. I did my Baaders but not the Astronomiks yet.
No, I didn't do that....I'm not sure that light can even get to the edges of the filters because the spacer covers the edges..?

Are other brand of filters supplied with blackened edges?

Mike
