Speaking of which, how do you find the Astronomik UHC filter? I was looking at it recently in the hopes it might help improve views in suburbia.

Commemorated!!!!!
Thanks Patrick. I'll take that as a compliment.
The UHC filters are best used for bringing out nebulosity in subjects such as Eta Carina Nebula and Orion Nebula and some planetary nebulae. Will not enhance other deep sky stuff such as galaxies or clusters. Stars, planets,clusters and particularly galaxies, as you know, are best viewed under dark skies. Other filters usually used for enhancing planets.
Cheers mate and hope you get that dew prevention up and running. If you need any further info, give us a buzz.
