2 inch CLS and UHC Filters with Camera Lens's


Just a quick picture for now.

I've been using 2 inch CLS and UHC  filters to great effect with my 90mm Telescope.
I wanted to try a bit of wider field Astro again, but light pollution makes a mess of the results.
I decided to modify one of my M42 adaptors to accept one of the filters. This involved "boring" out the body of the adaptor, the filter being held in place by friction. The following was just a quick grab without much thought. I'm waiting for the weather to improve so I can try it at f 5.6 and test some of my other lenses.
