    Thanks, Michael.  The telescope on my EBBCO (which is 45 years old) seems excellent for its purpose.  It is a Galilean type, about 2.5x, and I don’t see any chromatic aberration at all.  My problem is definitely the filters.

    I've just bought an Ebbco, intending to use it as a class demo piece. . . .

     

     

    The snag for me is the telescope itself - there's a lot of chromatic abberation. If all your shades appear to have 'gone off', it may be the telescope that's the root cause.

    I've ordered a bit of 7/8" tube to make a sight tube, eliminating the telescope, I'll report back later ....

    Good sailing
