A rather expensive filter that just sits in my eyepiece case at the moment. I don't foresee myself picking up a big achro anymore now that I have a Mak.
I to Adrian! And those big achros have one colour of out of focus in violet/blue light as Matt has stated also; ergo it cannot be super sharp as a Maksutov is.

PS: And hope you are enjoying your Mak.Dont forget its great for binaries too!
