Description

You would think that after shooting for almost three years I would have used a filter by now but not until I shot this! This was my first time using a narrowband filter. Granted it was a low quality 30 dollar one but I'm amazed at how much of a difference it makes! I love how prominently you can see dust lanes in the spiral and how awesome the color turned out!! Plus I always love it when I manage to get solid diffraction spikes on stars. All in all will diffidently continue using this and now I feel kind of motivated to spend money on better equipment.
