Hi all!
I have read that astrophotographers use a red filter effectively to image the Moon. One mention of a red filter was made by our own Iceman (Mike Salway) on his webside in relation to his famous Crater Clavius photo. He explains: "I used my standard Planetary Imaging Equipment to capture the data – the 12″ Newt on an EQ6 with the DMK21AU04, 5x powermate and Astronomik Red filter." (

.
So Mike, if you happen to read this, could you tell us more about the characteristics of your Astronomik Red filter and how/when to use it? Is the filter part of the LRBG set? Or is it a special one?
Thanks.
Eric
