Re: Barlow with Lunt CaK

UV filter does block CaK. You can use an IR filter. The Barlow is ok between the module and camera. I have been using this arrangement for several years with an ED80 and ED100. No issues so far. Good luck.

My 2c in reply to Mark and Rainer
A goto mount is quite tricky to get working but an Evscope really is easy. And then you get to think about the sky, what is visible, chose things and see it on the night, and have a snapshot as a reminder. Not boring absolutely brilliant!
