Thanks Andrew - that option would be a possibility, depending on the filter configuration.

Thanks Gary - I've got several cameras including a Canon 20D so I guess that might be an option.

Sounds like a lot but it doesn't take up too much space.

Thanks Chris - I didn't realise that filters were available to mount directly to the back of a scope. I've got an adapter for the Feathertouch focuser on the back, so I'd have to check out that one further.

I've just went down this path and had to rebuy all my filters.

That's sound thinking Sandy - a CCD camera is on the list!

I just bought one of these, but it's still in the post.

On a related topic, Baader also make a DSLR lens adapter for 2" filters for the front of the lens - I haven't really looked in to this one, but at first glance, it looks alright, assuming you want to use regular lenses for astrophotography at some point.

Thanks Astro Bot - I'll look up the Baader option.
