Description

Testing the L-eNhance filter with the portable setup, and what better target to choose? The lovely hunter is back in our winter skies (except that winter missed the memo this year). This was taken from a Bortle 4 zone, before I've discovered the mosaic tool in Ekos. I am probably going to revisit this beautiful region in our skies around the next new moon.

The lens was stopped at F/2.8. I was a bit concerned about the fast optics shifting the Ha signal out of the band and lose transmission %. I will test this during the next clear night, and compare the outcome at F/2 vs F/2.8
