The transmission was too low, especially for red. I now have the astronomiks and they're heaps better. I wish i'd bought them first up.
Parfocal claims are good, but it doesn't mean you won't need to focus between channels. At long focal lengths, and in varying seeing, you sometimes still need to focus between channels - even if ever so slightly. You want a sharp image in every channel, not just the one you start with.

Matty P,
well worth following along the lines of Mike, Paul & Bird. These guys have done all the "hard work" for the rest of us to follow.
Their results speak for themselves.
Keep up the questions and always be prepared to listen, and most of all try and do some experimenting yourself. This is a hobby that you cant "buy" great images or get others to do all the work for you.
Jupiter season starts soon and look forward to seeing some images from you
