Thanks Karl,

the Lenhance and Idas LPS2 filters work nicely with the modded Canon.

The night wasn`t the best, but I didn't want to waste the opportunity.

Conditions and seeing improved around 3.00 am.

I use a Batinov mask for focusing, and always when changing filters.

This was also the first time I used the ZWO EAF auto focuser.

I was attempting to guide, but I could not quite get it together,
(thanks again Martin for your support).

Peter, yes, the conditions can be tricky down this way for focus,
as you would know.

My location in a valley with an elevation of 9 meters above sea level,
and 500 meters from the ocean can bring all kinds of mist and fogs.

I cant complain, when its good it`s amazing.

I`m still happy !!

Thanks again.

Paul.
