I've had great results with the l quad as well. Haloing is an issue as stated, but it's a worthwhile tradeoff imo.

Very nice Sam! The filter definitely is doing it's job. Navi is definitely a challenge. So much that I left it out of frame when I captured IC63 lol. I'm am curious to see how it would perform capturing 600 second exposures. That's what I use when using my Player one Anti halo duel narrowband filter 3nm. Clear skies my friend!!!

I have some 2.1x42 binos that take 2 inch filters on the objective. Two of these would be pretty expensive. I wonder how effective these are visually.

@riley_inglis738 9 ай бұрын

Yes you do you telescopes use multiple curved opticle elements such as mirrors or lenses to gather light or other electro magnetic radiation to bring that light or radiation to a focus where is can be veiwed and studied. (I think) the more lenses there are the closer and more focused it is far away and i think the light he was carrying around the telescope was drowning out the other light sources this (you) is another example of people on the internet not knowing what theyre talking about

Great video. You sold me on it with the seahorse nebula, a target I've been thinking of for a while. I tried without filters with my mono but the gradients left a result I wasn't entirely please with. Would you recommend this from bortle 3 skies on a dark nebula? I've just switched to OSC as I will be traveling to dark skies more and doing less narrowband from my light polluted skies.

@intergalacticastro Жыл бұрын

Yeah i would definitely use it at a Bortle 3 I can't wait to travel to a Bortle 2 to also try it.

Great video Sam. Definitely makes a difference using this filter. One day I'll be able to do so too. Once I get myself a dedicated astro camera. We've got one (my son) the Player one Uranus C pro IMX 585. I used it on the Cone. But I forgot to put in the UV/IR cut filter he has. I've only have a CLS filter for my scope. Since my DSLR is astro modded. It's all I can use. Hopefully, it will clear up soon so you can get back out again. Clear Skies my friend!!!!!

My goodness, I'd love to be as good a post processer as yourself my friend! Your images are incredible! I too much much prefer the more natural look. I don't much like the Hubble Palette type images, and also those images where the colours are off the scale intense and very un-natural looking. That being said, I respect highly the skill and imagination of the creators of said types of images! I'm roughly 14 months into imaging, after many years visual Astro. I live in England, so in those 14 months, I'd say I've only averaged around 2 cloudless nights per month! In fact, during the last 7 months, because of the worst weather I've known since I ever started using telescopes for visual then imaging, in those 7 long months I've only had 4 cloudless night skies! Painful! lol. So my progress is really slow due to the aforementioned circumstances, unfortunately. Thanks for the great vid my friend! you have my subscription!
