Description

I've been refining the new setup so grabbing every opportunity I can to take pictures. Thankfully the gear is working flawlessly now. Wasn't the best choice to use a Lum filter with an OSC with the moon at 95% but wanted to compare the Optlong L-Pro with the Astrodon Lum. Despite light pollution and moon I do like the slightly wider range of colours I can get without excluding certain band widths.
