Description

As crazy as it may sound, this image (at least in my opinion) is better under Bortle 8 skies from my backyard using the Optolong L-enhance than under Bortle 5 skies with an Astronomik IRUV cut filter (pretty much as with no filter at all). Please check https://www.astrobin.com/0n5ign/C/ for a comparison as it is exactly the same field of view.
I truly think that even if you are under Bortle 4 to 6 skies , maybe the L-Pro or the L-quad will come in handy for these nebulosities. I will probably take my L-Pro the next time I have the opportunity to travel to my rural/urban transition area. Needless to say, the L-Enhance always deliver in any circumstances.
My recently purchased Skywatcher GTi works wonderfully , providing between 0.6 to 1" RMS which is perfect for the Redcat 51. It successfully perform meridian flip unsupervised everytime no issue. I can have a good night sleep with this little mount.

Description: This is a jpg version with the stars fixed using Siril. I wonder if it looks any better. It surely has enhanced the nebulosity in the image at the cost of masking many stars (which I am not a big fan of doing).
