Thanks Alex - not only is it good to hear that its not just me, its even better to hear that it has a technical name too.

Thanks also for the offer of the spacer. Once again, the helpfulness of fellow IIS is great and very appreciated. I've committed to take something similar once I'd verified that it was what I needed and it woudl be rude of my not to go ahead with it.

Out of interest, what FW are you using? I have been waiting for SBIG to release an adapter to the CFW8. I have a 50.8mm LRGB set ready to go and also 2 inch threaded Ha and OIII filters which both fit the CFW8. There hasn't been anything released as yet as far as I can see. It would be good to hear if there is a ready replacement available.

I am extremely happy with the camera so far - I hadn't appreciated that it has such a large dynamic range. Its as if you can stretch it from here to the next suburb.

Pete
