Description

When I received my new SV220 filter it was really important for me to test how it works with the relatively fast optics of my Newtonian telescope.  I needed a nice target to fit into the 585 sensor field of view, one that has good amounts of H-alpha and O emissions.  NGC 6823 was one such target that was located conveniently and one that I haven't yet imaged.  Overall I must say that the filter works very well ineed.
