Description

I'm new to OSC setup and I've been playing alot with L-Pro and IDAS LPS-P2 filters. I've been so far pleased with these two filters, and recently move on to playing with the STC Duo Narrowband filter. So far my initial assessment is not very pleased with it. I was expecting a bit more of the red flares to come out of M81 with 12 minute exposures but they are extremely faint. I will be trying 15 and 20 minute exposures soon to see what results I'll be getting.
