Thanks Rolf, I would love to have that Zeiss, I bet you regret that decision to sell. Just had a look at your astropics, sensational !!!!
Finally the skies cleared enough to wheel out the big Istar last night.
At 150mm F10 (fl 1500mm) with the 2" dielectric diagonal with the Baader Semi Apo filter attached and Vixens 13mm 17mm and LV 5,6 &20mm trained on Jupiter and the Moon the views were nothing short of spectacular. With the 20, 17 and 13 chromatic aberration was non existent, with the 5 and 6mm the thinnest margin of CA was visible.
It was only with the LVW 3.5mm at 428X that the halo was a bother but the seeing wasn't good enough for that ep anyway.
I am very pleased with the Baader S/A filter, the light loss was minimal and certainly not a factor when viewing Jupiter and Luna. The big refractor does take some time to acclimatise especially today as the temp was 30C during the day and 14C at 10pm.
