Description

SHO palette, wide field refractor + fun with a mount and tripod that I can carry with one hand :-)

First light on my new narrow-bandpass 3nm Antlia filters. So far, I am very pleased at the rich depth of "colors" pulled out while minimizing the number of distracting background stars in a very star dense portion of our own galaxy. It is like getting star reduction for free.
