Description

With M106 I wanted to test my new filter from Optolong (L-enhance II). Also how good it is in difficult conditions as the moon was visible 70% of the time. 
I am thrilled with the result, as it is also my first filter.
Unfortunately I dropped my flat field box and fell right on the plug.
Which pushed the connector into the box and cracked the LEDs.
So I immediately tested the "GraXpert" program, which is really a powerful tool, and that's how I got the strong vignetting out of the image.
If the weather cooperates again and there are better conditions (no moon) I will collect more photons from M106 without filter.
Then you should be able to see more details.
