The green converted view was the brightest yet [due to its thickness] but as I suspected diffusion through fluorescence fuzzed the image so the limb was difficult if not impossible to focus. The plastic could possibly be thinned for a clearer but inevitably dimmer view. It's over to those working in labs with superior materials to solve this one My best effort remains a six stack of fluorescent stained Sellotape but result, if bright, marred by imperfect contact with each other on glass base. -------------------- Nytecam 51N 0.1W Meade 30cm LX200+ETX-70+e-finder+C8+Ha+CaK PSTs SBIG SGS+homebuilt spectrographs Starlight SXVF_M9+Lodestar CCDs/Canon 300D DSLR/Fuji E550 My observatory build-ETX-70 imaging-my videos Post Extras       Entire thread Subject Posted by Posted on 12/31/69 07:00 PM Re: It works! - CaK fluorescent eyepeice.. specscope   07/05/06 03:19 AM Re: It works! - CaK fluorescent eyepeice.. nytecam   07/06/06 03:09 AM Re: It works! - CaK fluorescent eyepeice.. specscope   07/07/06 05:45 AM Re: It works! - CaK fluorescent eyepeice.. bill-in-forres   04/29/06 07:06 AM Re: It works! - CaK fluorescent eyepeice..
