Description

I took this image to see what could be done under absurd conditions with the Optolong L-eXtreme filter. The moon was 99.3% illuminated, about 16 hours before full moon! The Samyang 135mm f/2 lens was used wide open and shows how well the L-eXtreme works at f/2. There were no gradients to speak of in the image, so what can be done with a narrowband filter and color camera under very bright conditions is amazing.
