G'Day John! I have a 1.25" IR/UV filter but would you recommend I use the IR/UV filter on my DBK41 on the moon? I was imaging the moon the other night but this time through my 8"SN for the 1st time (F4) instead of my 80mm refractor (F6) and struggled. Mind you the atmosphere was quite unstable (worst I've seen in a while)
Good luck Grant - I think you're philosophy of sticking to the moon with a simple camera is a good one to fine tune some skills before you move onto the more expensive stuff. It's the path I took and it's allowed me to quickly get comfortable with my new acquisitions. Good luck mate!
