As you know I was using my baader fring killer for awhile. I'm wondering if a UV/IR cut will do any good on the refractor as well.
will see what we can do re the 6in Asi...

Don't think there's a hell of a lot of difference between the Baader Fringe Killer and their Ir/UV filter (I use the latter) according to the spectrums they publish. I have read on Cloudy Nights some people who have invested in what's called an Aries Chromocor (which I think is a more serious bit of hardware than a fileter) who rave about the results on 6 inch acros turning them into semi-apos etc etc... have a goodle around and see what you can find on that

cheers mate
