oooooooh Yeah! aint that the true then you find on some targets
your expensive UHC filter is meant for, it can make little difference.
Sometimes I find I'll blink my UHC filter in and out this gives the effect
similar to shaking the tube on faint fuzzies. After which I go back to the
natural look. In fact I use my UHC so little that I forget that it is there.
Usually if I'm going to use it, I'm looking for small Hartung planetaries
near the milky way or nestled in star fields.
