Description

This is my third attempt with Optolong L-Ultimate. I have to admit that I love this filter. It is amazing how much more details can be captured with it.

I also used this target to evaluate the effect of total integration time by photographing it in multiple nights. As expected, there is a dramatic difference between 4 and 8 hours. Way more details clearly visible and less noise. Further addition of extra 4 hours removed some noise but did not add much more details. Looks like 8 hours is a sweet spot considering number of clear nights in my area.
