Thanks mate.
I don't know about being a hard task master... I've seen some fantastic shots of the ISS and the space shuttle in front of the sun in Ha (especially Thierry's) where they've managed to stop the ISS with the shutter... I guess I hoped my results would be closer to that, but in honesty I'm only using a 40mm aperture scope (with the SM40) so I'm hardly getting an excess of light to the camera
. A bigger Ha filter is required or some cunning trickery as I suggested
.
I'm hanging out for a lunar crossing event now... I haven't had one since I've had the ED80/DMK41 combination to increase my FOV. I think my previous attempts at lunar crossings failed through lack of FOV and possibly inaccurate timing.
Hmmm maybe I should try the C11 with double stacked focal reducers for a lunar event
... good FOV and good light gathering...
. I should do a test to see if the image quality would be acceptable...
