Thanks Marc, it was foreign to me also and has just become such an exciting part of our wonderful hobby. Seeing changes in real time has really got me addicted! Thanks also to Ken for answering your question re front of scope filters. I know you can buy the Mylar filters for many scopes but Ken is more up on white light etc.
