Description

First target with new Astronomik RGB filters to replace the type 2 filters in use for last several years. Halo challenges appear to be eliminated. Color separation is much greater and easier on the FCD 100 glass.  This was what everyone said would happen.  The type two filters are very good for superior glass is what I understand at this point.  Also collimated this scope and results are near perfect from that effort.   CGEM mount is just slightly wobbly in the eight minute cycle.  Blur Exterminator purchased and was an immediate fix for this.  Big improvement in star color without having to pull my hair out trying to make all the colors blend in each star.  Noise Exterminator also purchased and used at this point. Saved much time in these areas.   Trying to learn how to process in a more gentle manner is the next goal.
