Description

I took the OIII subs at my favourite dark site in die Eifel, and it is amazing to see, that 55x180sec integration time were enough to show the faint, blue outer shell. It’s definitely not an Bortle 1 or 2 zone there, but it`s so very much better than my home sky with ist abundant amount of light pollution.

Ha 87x180sec
OIII 55x180sec
