Description

I took 300 s subs using the Optolong L-Enhance filter in a pretty bright moon and love how well that filter works.  I later took 120 s subs with the Optolong L-Pro filter with less moon to get better star colors.  This was also my first time using Russell Croman's StarXTerminator and the APP beta star reducer.  Very impressed with both.  The star reducer almost works too well and I might make them a bit bigger next time.
