Thanks Jeremy. I rang Custom Scientific – as the name suggests they do custom work. They can make a 2″ round mounted V filter for $400 + shipping. Although it is costs more than the 50mm round unmounted, it would save me the expense of a new filter wheel specifically for the larger unmounted filters. TBH, I have a preference for trying to keep the setup as simple as possible and avoid filters wheels if I can. I’ll think about it a little.

However, your comment re Cataclysmic Variables is interesting. I might look into that a little….. 

Ta,

Michael.

Nick,

Thanks for your reply.

If it’s not too much trouble to upload, then yes I’d love to hear it.

Thanks a mill,

Michael.

Well done on seeing it from Svalbard.

Nick,

We were lucky in that we had John Beattie organised the trip. Nothing was left to chance. The windows were washed in deicing fluid the night before ir order to minimise the risk of ice buildup. The internal perspex windows were all replaced along sun-side of the plane so everyone had a nice clear view.

Michael.
