Moon through digital camera hand held to eyepiece

Attached is a happy snap of the moon throught the eyepiece with a camera hand held (22mm LVW), The scope was my vixen 140 neoachromat with the semi-apo filter on the diagonal and a light yellow filter.

I find visually this eliminates chromatic abberation quite significantly - even on very bright stars and the moon. (the semiapo filter alone is also excellent). Makes sense when you look at the spectral throughput of these filters.

Cheers
David
