Re: Scope size K-line question
Yeah thought about using the tec for k-line (and I have for very short periods) but been afraid that I'm going to burn out the filter with continued use... Plus I've been having issues with back focus and barlowing with the tec and the k-line wedge. So I was just thinking of getting another "ch...

Thank you all so much for your input. Paul, Alexandra, Derek, Mark I feel ridiculous that I didn't realize I was using 95% of the frames... I had been using registax 6 and moved to autostakkert I thought at the time I was using the best 95% of frames... Mark... thank you also for the recommendation ...
