Triplet Lens -vs- Doublet Lens
I would think if you plan to combine the NB data later into a false colour image you’ll have the same problem. If your goal is pure B&W then I’d guess you’d be fine. Stuart

Mike, I am glad that helped. I have magnetic switches that I've STILL not installed on my mounts and roof to add another layer of safety. Enough stuff still goes wrong that I'm glad I'm not always ima

Really nice Bill! I like the super tight stars and the lower contrast. All the nuances are there vs. some images with the contrast jacked up too high. Stuart

Dale, if Mike has an IP controllable power bar he can just leave a desk lamp in the observatory and turn that on if he needs to see what's happening in the middle of the night. That is what I do. Chee
