Description

This is the first image using a Astronomik UHC Filter in front on my QHY8L, the filter is designed for the visual observation of emission and planetary nebulae but meant to work well with camera with an IR block filter.

The post-processing is a challenge and still more work to do in that area but pleased with the results.
