>Used on an 80mm f5 short tube refractor. No visible reduction in false colour on bright objects (D. Hinds ad. says it will remove false colour). Belts on Jupiter slightly enhanced. Not tried on moon. Little difference with regard to skyglow - may reduce it a little but also dims object being viewed. Spend more money - I wouldn't buy again!

Hmm strange i've looked on the David Hinds website and it makes no mention of it being a CA remover. Which off course you wouldn't expect to be because that was never it's purpose anyway. It has to be used in conjunction with the Baader Fringe Killer to remove false colour. And there's no filter in the world that will remove all the false colour from an 80mm f5 achro. Only really effective on the f8 - f10 models.

And as for little difference on Skyglow...no way!!!

I think you forgot to screw in the filter!
