Usually Astrodon's reflect a lot in the green but also will reflect in blue.
Great filters but it is their achilles heel. The new generation Astrodon's have attempted to rememdy this weakness. Not 100% sure how well though.

Greg, these are the first generation Astrodon's. I can handle reflections as there's plenty that can be done in processing to minimise them, but for this image I just keep it real.

Greg.....I have both sets of Astrodon filters....the Gen2 filters are, in my opinion, some way off from being Tru-Balance when compared to their predecessors....and I for one cannot tell any diffference between the two versions when it comes to halos...they both suffer quite significantly. Take a look at my post in the CCDWare forum of how these Gen2 filters are performing.
Jase...how was AIC?
cheers

Thanks Martin. I'm not going to deny that the stars in this image caused some exceptions to how I'd normally process them. They're quite vibrant.
AIC was great. Spoke to plenty who roam the SBIG forums etc. Considering you'll be in the US, there's no excuses not to go now. Hope to see you there next year. I plan to make the trip north again. You can see some pics of this years event here -

Thanks Steve. It may not be to everyone's taste, but variety is the spice of life.
