Hello Clive.

I've only tried the UV filter on one galaxy at this stage NGC253.
To say the result was disappointing is a bit of an understatement. It was like trying to image the galaxy through a neutral density filter.
Perhaps UV imaging might work on more active galaxies, NGC 5128 springs to mind as being a potential target.

Regards

Steven
