Description

Produced under my Bortle 2 skies, this image of IC 405 was my first test using the Optolong L-Quad Enhance and the Optolong UV/IR Cut 2 inch Filters. 50 - 300sec. (5min) exposures with each filter were acquired and stacked in ASI Studio and processed in Pixinsight. As I'm still learning the processing techniques involved in Pixinsight, I do believe it came out fairly well. I have saved the data as I plan to aquire additional data without filters and with other filters. I also want to work on the data a few more times as I know the image can be better.
