Roland,

I have a Watec 120N, in US sold as Stellacam.

The CS lens that was included in the package was this one.

This lens happens to have the same diameter as a 1.25" filter.
I took a standard eyepiece cap, and cut out the bottom. The resulting ring goes over the front of the Cs lens as a collar. Then I can slide a 1.25" filter in front of the lens.

I used full frame integration, cause the UHC filter blocks a lot of light.
The same can be done with a H-Alpha filter. Works great with these camera's.

Sounds fun to do some simultaneous work, Roland! We can work out something together, weather permitting of course.
