Description

Shot in Bortle 8 during full moon over 2 nights. This was my first test of the Antlia ALP-T and first narrowband type imaging. It turned out ok and I am happy this filter opens up the opportunity for me to image even during a full moon here in my backyard.

On the second night of imaging this target I happened to capture asteroid 44 Nysa crossing directly through M1 which was pretty exciting to discover in my images the next day. I have created a time lapse of this and need to explore if it is possible to upload to Astrobin

My next test will be to increase the exposure to 480 and gain to 200 to try to pull the histogram away from the left wall a bit more.
