Bradley Watson: I've been using it in lieu of a luminance filter on my Newtonian for a while now and have been very happy with it. Here are some images I've done with it: https://www.astrobin.com/375415/ https://www.astrobin.com/395753/ https://www.astrobin.com/402244/ https://www.astrobin.com/408397/ https://www.astrobin.com/6paeki/ https://www.astrobin.com/1t9i5o/ https://www.astrobin.com/5ns23j/ All were taken with a ZWO 1600 MM-C, ZWO RGB filters (sometimes an Ha filter) and the Baader Neodymium Moon & Skyglow under the Bortle 7-8 skies of suburban Philadelphia. |

| The Baader M&S is my go to filter on the 800 Edge. It lets in a lot more light than a CLS and blocks some of the glow from moonlight. Compare my exposure times with similar images to really appreciate the advantage of this filter. |

| I do have that Baader Neodymium Moon & Skyglow, but i felt like i didn't like the result, and i was going to sell it, but maybe i will keep it for a while and using it for RGB set i will buy later, so i can give it a try again and see, if it will do nice job instead of regular L then it will be a keeper. |

| I’m in Bortle 4 so pretty fortunate. I encourage you to heed the advice of Chris. He is in my humble opinion, a superb practitioner of our craft and what he produces from a highly light polluted environment is nothing short of astonishing. |

Chris Sullivan: OK, thanks Chris. I have ordered this filter so am trying it anyway. You mention you live under abortle 7/8 sky but do you get any gradients in your images that you have to process out at all? |

Thanks for the kind words, Mike!! I definitely get gradients that I have to process out in my broadband images. I don't get them as much with the RC as I do with the Newt and depending on where I'm shooting in the sky, they can be terribly ugly (low to the south), or barely perceptible (high to the north/zenith). If all I'm doing is southern targets though, it can be tough even determining whether my flats are working or not (i.e., whether to reshoot them). |
