Description

This was my first try using the Optolong L-extreme filter - and I'm really impressed. The moon was 99% full and VERY bright, and it did a great job at filtering out the moon's light as well as reducing star intensity. It was pretty hot (80F/27C), so noise reduction was a challenge - and dark frames helped only minimally. The downside of a DSLR/mirrorless camera in the summer!
