Description

Started this project in January and was the first target of mine to try the Antlia dual filter ALP-T and see if it will replace my L-extreme. Since I image unguided with a tracker, framing and focusing on targets is a big challenge, so after I imaged first two nights in January I had missed a big part of the nebulosity around the Christmas Tree Cluster so I had to revisit it in February to complete the project. I am very satisfied with the filter especially when it comes to stars and halo, but processing narrow band data through separating channels was not as forward as with data from the L-extreme. It might be the nature of this specific target or 5nm band filters, I don't know yet but future targets will tell.
