Description

I collected an additional 36 frames without using the L-enhance filter and combined them with the previous set for a total of 3 hours and 9 minutes.  The results are interesting.  The Flame Nebula is enhanced and the Barnard's Loop is lost in the background.

Title: Orion wide field

Description: This one is very interesting, showing how the L-Enhance filter changes the image. Serendipitous because the SkyGuider Pro means I have to physically move the RA and Dec axes by hand and it is nearly impossible to go to exactly the same spot. The lower image is with the filter and note how the H-alpha in Barnard's Loop is very enhanced but goes away when the unfiltered image is layered on top. Also note that the light pollution or whatever in the top right is significant without the filter but is diminished using the L-Enhance.
