Filter to reduce turbulences?

I think that your neximage is a colour camera, which limits what you can do with filters. If you can possibly remove the built in IR filter, you could probably get good results using a 25a red filter, since the Bayer filters that produce the color all leak light at wavelengths just beyond visible and you will get an image in all colour channels.

Yes, it is a colour camera, although you can also take videos in black and white in iCap (but it's obviously not the same).
Unfortunately I don't know how to remove the IR fiilter. I have never opened or modified a camera and don't want to ruin it... But filters are pretty cheap so I can give the 23A a go. Hopefully it will improve it at least a bit.
Thanks for the advice!

Finally!!!! Last night I could not sleep. At some stage I got up and went past the balcony. The moon was up there, so I gave it a go. Finally the turbulences were not so bad. It was actually the first time I could get nice images with the NexImage even with no binning, and this was the closest I have ever been to the moon. The craters were huge. With 2x binning the images were even better (most of them don't even need post-work).
After that I even had a couple of hours of sleep in the morning!
At any rate with no binning the magnification is huge. I think it works as a 5-7mm eyepiece with 2x binning, but without binning it is probably like a 3mm eyepiece???

A couple of days ago ("first quarter" moon) I wanted to give it a go, but when I opened the door of the balcony it was like feeling a hair drier on my face... It was a hot day, very bright and windy too, and the turbulences were enormous. I decided to test the red filter with the NexImage... It improved the turbulences just a little bit, but at the bottom of the images there is a dark stripe. Transparent, but darker than the rest of the image? Is it normal when using a colour filter with the NexImage? Thanks.
