Lovey image Steve, isn’t it great seeing data come alive Was the image cropped any? Sometimes a light crop can help with the composition too.

I definitely recommend this when finances allow. The ZWO filter drawer is obviously designed to worked perfectly with your ZWO camera in your optical train, but there are a number of others too. In addition to a dual NB filter, I’ve also found it handy to have a UV/IR cut filter which I always use unless the NB filter is being used. Antlia are soon to release an RGB filter which looks like a type of UHC filter centred on the RGB peaks (with 50nm-ish bandpass) but hopefully without the nasty halos UHC filters tend to have. Alex
