Antares 127mm f6.45 Question

Posted By Clay Cooper
I got one of these OTAs a few years ago when they were being discontinued. It is a great scope for wide field viewing. However, when I look at the moon the sunlit peaks and crater rims are yellow and the shadows are a purplish black. A Sirius MV filter does not seem to improve the views. Does anybody know of any type of filter that will improve the CA on this scope to enable decent lunar viewing? Thanks.

Regards,
Clay

"A Field Guide to Double Star Observing" by Joe DalSanto is another good source.

This has been the worst summer for observing that I can remember in recent years. I have been clouded over for 5-6 weeks now.

There are several people on CN that have been using that combo and it works fine for them.

Do a search on the "Cats & Casses" forum at CN for "minitower" and you'll find the thread where I specifically asked about it.

Is anyone concerned about the NSA stuff

Posted By Clay Cooper
Trust the Government. Ask the American Indians how that worked out for them.
