ACROMAT for Colour Photography????

Hi All,
A friend of mine sent a "Baader Fringe-Killer" Filter to try out, so in addition to using it on the ED-80, I gave it a try on the "Skywatcher 102" Acromat to see what would happen, amazing results, only the smallest amount of Blue Fringe around bringht stars, might be the breakthrough needed to make the Acromats a useful imaging tool, ill post more later.

1 x 6 Min. Exp. at ISO-800, DF removed, MODIFIED CANON*, guided.

* Tested using the original Canon UV/IR Filter in the light path + the Fringe Killer Filter, everything out of Focus, Me or It I dont know as yet, re-running this test.

regards...........Jim
