Description

After almost 2 months of inactivity we return to observe the sky and inaugurate, albeit with a small session, the new Optolong Astronomy Filter Italia L-Extreme filter, a very narrow dual band, which allows to collect photons in the H Alpha line and of the OIII.

The test was done on a subject that abounds with that signal, namely ngc6992, the eastern part of the remnant of a supernova (veil supernova renmant) located in the constellation of swan. The shooting was carried out from home therefore in conditions of high light pollution and with the subject in the sunset phase. I must say that I was greatly surprised by the efficiency of this filter.
