Description

For my anniversary I got from my wife the filter that I should have bought maybe earlier? After this image and its processing: yes, indeed. Loved the result that I obtained with the Antlia 3nm OIII, very clean raw images, and enough signal as well. I chose this target on purpose since I knew from others here on Astrobin that it contains a good amount of OIII. Not really very bright stars in the area as well, at least I could test the performance undisturbed. Very pleasant as well the flat files that I made, compared to the Baader filters a huge difference, no circular waves, just a plain smooth image. I definitely know now what I will get for Christmas from her 😊, the missing ones. Not that the Baader Hα was bad in this image, luckily no brighter stars around, since this filter creates halos even in Hα. Even with the stars in this images I could see them, you will not since I replaced them with the LRGB data that I also obtained just to get rid of the halos. I am actually fairly pleased that a minimum of LRGB data produced a nice colored star ensemble. Looking forward to process more images for which I used this filter, hopefully my happiness will not be disappointed with those, one never knows in our hobby!
CS for all!!
