Description

This is a 50% cropped version of the Bat Nebula taken from a Bortle 8 back yard in Ottawa, Canada, with the moon near to full. L-eXtreme filter this year compared with L-eNhance last year shows twice as much of the OIII, I'd say.  Both are good for slightly different cases, as I see it. Brighter moon, or target with more OIII, maybe L-eXtreme is better. On the other hand, there's a tad more star colour data with the L-eNhance, due to broader bandwidth on the OIII for that filter. 

15 x 10 min exposures.
