Hi

just wondering if anyone has done any tests of planetary webacm images taken with and without these filters in place?

Is it worth getting my hands on one??

Their worth it (to me) just to keep the dreaded dust bunnies off the sensor!

I agree with Asi-John. I keep my filter on all the time.

I have done some side by sides, but with a refractor. I'll see if I can find some. The pics are also in this forum...somewhere..
