Hi All,
I've recently purchased an Orion Skyglow filter hoping it would help with the light-polluted northeast. Although it does darken the sky and gives better sky contrast, the filter also 1)creates tiny red spots around stars and, most annoying, 2)the filter defocuses the target! I'm unable to get the crisp, color-free views with this filter. When the filter's removed, all is crisp but with less contrast. I'm using a 10" Dob. Has anyone here come across these two issues with the filter?
Thanks,
Maria
