Eta carina through a Vixen 140NA (+UCHS filter)

Hi All,

At Ilford I experimented with "Scratchy" and "Itchy" photographing with a vixen achromat with a UHCS filter. The filter seems to cut out pretty well below 450nm.

Attached is the results. Fuji S2 ISO1600 4min x 2 stacked and a histogram stretch (no other processing).

The filter seems to pick up the red really well and there is a very red star to the right of the field (wonder if it might be a carbon star).

Worth experimenting some more the UHCS filter. Without the filter there is certainly a prominent blue halo.

Hope Ive attached the file correctly!

Cheers.
David
