Description

I was fortunate to have Optolong reach out to me asking if I would try out their new soon to be released L-Quad Enhance filter. I of course said yes.

This image of NGC253 was taken over two nights of the 3rd and 4th of October of this year. As is nearly always the case, whenever a new piece of astronomy gear arrives so do the clouds. However I have managed over 11hours on various targets and I am so far very pleased with this filter (no halos).

I of course am wanting to collect a lot more data to add and expand on what I have obtained so far.

For the mean time I am happy to share one image for now.
