Great for spectroscopy but can lead to star bloat in astrophotography ( excess UV and /or excess IR). Obviously less of a problem in fully reflective scopes which bring all wavelengths to a common focus.

So ken, you think leaving the front AA/dust filter on will actually help reduce the star bloat when using with my ED80 or is removing the IR filter enough to cause this?
