Description

I just received my Optolong L-eXtreme filter and wanted to test it with Celestron 9.25 ED equipped with a Hyperstar (f/2.2). I took only a few 120" subs and was immediately impressed when comparing these with my previous unfiltered subs, even though the seeing was miserable and I had to dodge a lot of passing clouds. I think the result is rather encouraging.

The integrated image was only lightly post-processed: a bit of saturation adjustment in APP and black point increase in GIMP.
