Description

About two years ago I did my first approach on this target with my Fujifilm XT-20 and the Rokinon / Samyang 135mm lens. Even with a lot of exposure time I could not get the image quality I wanted. Now with a decent telescope and my recently acquired ASI 2600MC pro I was able to get a much better image even in the short nights in midsummer. 
Using the Optolong L-Extreme filter also helps dealing with some bad light pollution coming from a nearby big gas station and some close towns and villages.
Using the ASI 2600MC pro in combination with the L-Extreme filter seems to create some halos around bright stars. Maybe moving the filter from the filter drawer to the filter thread in the telescope body help in future imaging sessions.
