Hi:
Spent the weekend at the Orion Observatory (my rural observatory 135Km from México City).
Well as expected, the raining season is on, so just had a few minutes before it clouded up and rained,
Forgot at home my Baader CaK filter, so could not try my CaK PST mod with my 6" f/12 refractor.
So I had to mount my stacked Ha 40mm Coronado filters on my 76mm f/6.4 TeleVue refractor, but had to adjust a bit on the blue wing, so to get some activity with haze and clouds running along.
The stacked 40mm Coronados were done by David Lunt and they are Superb filters, stacked by him and by Bill Dean, incredible good little 40mm filters.
Thanks for looking and best of this finishing week.
Eric.

Hello Eric,
This is a beautiful FD image. Incredible what a 40 mm DS can do.
