Description

I recently purchased the Optolong L-eXtreme dual-narrowband filter, that has a FWHM of 7 nm for OIII and H-alpha. After a few test runs, I was lucky to have several clear nights in a row and used them to go for the Elephant Trunk Nebula with the QHY268C.

I struggled with the image editing process since it was my first image with that filter an first time I used a narrowband approach to in PixInsight to achieve this HOO image with RGB stars. I am not completely happy with the result, but I think I am on a good way and will have a lot of fun getting more nebulae
