Description

I took three images of SH2-296 the last 5 weeks:

1. with a Canon EOS R and the Astronomik UHC filter on Feb 24th
2. with a Canon EOS R and the Optolong L-eXtreme dual narrowband filter on Mar 12
3. with my ASI 6200MM  with Ha, SII and OIII narrowband filters on Mar 26-28

This is the last one of the set and its interesting to compare the three images.

I find that the colors of the two images with the Optolong and the Ha, SII, OIII filters are very similar. With the Optolong filter and the color camera the exposure time was 3h10' whereas with the three narrowband filters and the mono camera the total exposure time was 7h30'.

However, angular resolution and sharpness of the image is much better with the mono camera.

The latter is of course to be expected, but the good color and noise of the second image shows nicely that color cameras with a dual narrowband filter are also a good choice for astrophotography
