Thanks, Dennis. They look interesting and not too expensive. I'll give them a go!

David, I'll give that a go too. There's a fuzzy area where I can't tell if a small turn of the focus ring is making things better or not. A more objective measure would be a big help.

I also have an IDAS LPS filter that arrived in the mail a couple of days ago. I'm hoping that will help with longer exposures once I get polar alignment sorted out.

Cheers,
Rick.
