CaK Full Disk 7th April

Today was more of the same, wind and rain, but, in a slightly drier interlude I went out and set up to catch those fleeting gaps in the clouds.

A friend and I got into a detailed texting conversation yesterday on SA. He said it was readily canceled out by a well made objective. And what surprises me the most is there is no corrector made for it, at least that I know of. TeleVue makes a corrector for Coma, and Aries once made the Chromacor ...

It certainly looks to me like someone has 'messed' with it. I would not recommend using this blocking filter for any visual.

These are excellent Alfred, even better viewed full size, I prefer number 1, it is lighter - but that may be down to my monitor.
