Do you have an IR filter? Maybe IR-RGB will yield reasonable results.

thanks Ivan. No I don't have an IR filter, but I do have a deep red with near IR throughput that might be worth a try.

I have a dispersion corrector here that I borrowed from Pete but have yet to use it. I am still trying to work out how to reduce down my image train to allow it in. Screw threading is what I am working on.

I look forward to your results Ray.
Thanks Paul. be very interested to see how you get on with the corrector. should be possible to add screw threads to reduce the depth, but that will change the amount of correction. If you haven't already read it, the latest BAA journal has a summary of the way the optics of these things work that might be useful when planning any mods. http://britastro.org/journal/pdf/122-5letters.pdf
