Description

Another, better, try at M76 with the same setup.
The sky was definitely less transparent than last night, indeed in the end oncoming clouds cut the session short.
This time the UHC performed definitely better than a few nights ago, when there was the full moon relatively close.
Also, imaging M76 with the UHC filter gave a rather better result than without it, even with a less transparent sky.
It should be what UHC are made for, particularly with nebulas, after all.
I again used the mixed imagining tecnique consisting this time in 12x5s exposures stacked in one minutes frame, 65 of which have been stacked offline afterward.
