QHY5L-II colour IR filter question
Hi,
I just got a QHY5L-II colour the other day to be used for planetary imaging and guiding. I gave it a quick test the other night while I was out and I noticed that the stars had a soft halo around them. I now know this was because I had removed the IR blocking filter so that I could attach the 1.25" extension, so that it would fit and get focus on my 9x50 gudescope. I also noticed that the thread at the end of the extender will not take the IR filter, seems crazy they don't use the same thread!
So my question is, is there a way to use both the extender and the IR filter at the same time?
