Description

Sphaghetti Nebula (Sh2-240) - Rokinon 135mm @ f/2.8 - 2600MC - Antlia Triband RGB Ultra Filter - 7 hours  Robert Moses State Park Long Island 11/12/23

2600MC - Gain =100 - Exposure = 180" With Antlia Triband RGB Ultra Filter.  Guiding around .3 - .7 arc/sec. Dither every 4th sub.

Thoughts from the night:
Finally finished processing this image. I'm not really overjoyed with the result but for my first try on this difficult nebula I'm satisfied for now. For anyone attempting this target know that getting the OIII out of it will be exceedingly difficult lol. Even after 7 hours at f2.8 I essentially got no OIII and I could juuust barely see the nebula in the subs with the asiair autostretch. 

In this case, I believe the Antlia ALP-T would have been a better choice, but hindsight is always 20/20. 

This was a very difficult process being that I kept trying to get more out of this image without the neccessary integration time needed. I have learned over the years that you cant outprocess a lack of integration time. When I have tried to do this, it always makes the image worse. 

After using the Antlia Triband for a week I like it a lot. This target wasn't the best choice for this filter but my last few images I feel benefited from it's use. I probably used it heere because I wanted to see if this would be "The filter to rule them all" but its not. As with any filter, a good imager has to choose his arsenal wisely. 

Please tell me any thoughts or improvements I can make if you have a moment. It's appreciated.
