Description

This was my first longer test run for the Optolong L-Pro Filter and you can color me impressed by the results. I would not have been able to bring out the tidal streams without it from Bonn - city. CS Y'all

Update: So there was 3 funny subs on the stack. What is this ? can you help ? I don't think that it is a reflection, as they tend to be blue rings from the schmidt plate. We do not have firebugs where I live and the color seems like aurora borealis. Have I gotten lucky ? CS Ben
